Because the demand for advanced product design in transportation machines such as automobiles, railways, and aircraft are increasing, there is a strong desire to improve quality from the psychological point of view of a passenger, such as mental stress and physical ride comfort. Degradation of ride comfort in transport machines has various influences such as vibration, noise, and ambient temperature, but there are also survey results which show that vibration affects comfort, especially in trains. In this paper, as a fundamental study on masking, we verified its effect using the vibration test by simulating the vibration environment applying the masking. From these investigations, we clarify the influence of masking in vertical vibration on the comfort of riders and present the prospects for the design of a new ride comfort control system.
