In the design of automotive components the use of numerical simulations has contributed to reducing the design time, decreasing the prototypes costs and increasing reliability of the final product. However is necessary a investigation on human body vertical vibrations transmitted by different types of vehicle for the purpose of recognition the danger and guiding to eliminate of risks of discomfort theirs. This study, the object is to compare the discomfort levels of occupants when different vehicles (car, bike and bus) move over a speed bump. The results show that wheelbase, wheel size and vehicle weight can lead to different vehicular discomfort results. Results of the study demonstrated that heavy vehicles occupants (bus or truck) are subject to discomfort greater than occupants of light vehicles (cars and motorcycles) ones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
