“…The result is a decrease in speed resulting in a pull from behind. In this study, a bus boundary condition with a 60 km/hour rate is given, then brakes within 100 m to a speed of 0 km/hour [14], [16]. After the simulation with various loads, validation is followed by an analysis of the results and conclusions.…”

The bus driver's comfort is crucial. The location of the driver's seat, which is correlated with the seat support design, is one of the elements supporting his comfort. The bus business chosen as a representative is PT Selamet Trans Abadi, which has its headquarters in Pati City, Central Java. By considering the Safety Factor, House of Quality (HOQ), weight, shape, and seat support dimensions, this study intends to ascertain how the characteristics of the bus seat support form after receiving a load or force. Conducting a field visit to gather the necessary data is the initial step in this research. The following stage is to decide on the design criteria based on the collected data. Next, use Solidwork to model the design. Using the Finite Element Method (FEM), this program can investigate design characteristics. The loading simulation under consideration includes clutch engagement, bus brake application, and clutch engagement, whether the support is static or stationary. The validation with two supporting journals is then run as the following step to validate the findings. The constant chair support fulfills the typical value, according to the study's findings, whereas support 1 is the most fracture-prone. The outcomes of supports 2 and 3 demonstrate that the support strength is weak since it is subjected to an unequal load.

“…Due to frequent limitations, proper seat balance will maintain the seat's lifespan. Concerning the bus structure, the smaller the seated mass, the lighter the load the chassis will receive [14]- [16]. The part that connects the seat with the chassis is called support.…”

Automotive engineering is a very important branch of design and development in mechanical engineering devoted to vehicle manufacturing. It demands solid knowledge focusing on the kinematics and dynamics of mechanical systems, either using structural analysis or modelling techniques. In this manuscript, a model based on the application of the fundamentals of the static and dynamic behaviour of the suspension system of a bus vehicle is developed. Therefore, a set of mathematical equations is expanded following the structural dynamic formulations to obtain an analytical solution on natural frequencies and the displacement under an external load. The problem is also solved using the Finite Element Method (FEM) to confirm the analytical results. Equivalent material parameters and boundary conditions were used for the FEM simulation. This work aims to propose a methodology based on modal analysis with a simplified model to predict the dynamic response of an automotive structure.
