It can be used for design for improving ride quality by grasping vibration characteristics of human-wheelchair system and reveal the influence on ride quality. The purpose of the study is to reveal the influence of the vibration of the frequency input by wheelchair traveling on the road surface on human's vibration riding quality. In this research, frequency response experiment using vibration generator and experiment of evaluation of input vibration were performed. The influence of input vibration on human riding quality are revealed the relationship between vibration characteristics of human-wheelchair system and ride quality evaluation. As a result, the resonance of the human body and the peculiar resonance of the human-wheelchair system are able to confirm. The discomfort to vibration is due to the resonance of each part of the human body. Vibration of the chest as a body trunk greatly contributes to discomfort.
