Study on the Relation between the Longitudinal Shock of Railway Vehicle and the changes in attitude of the Standing Passengers

Abstract

In this paper, the relation between the longitudinal acceleration and the changes in attitude were studied. to define the criteria of riding quality of standing passengers on railway vehicle. In the front report, we reported that longitudinal acceleration, pressure distribution on the sole and move distance of body were measured in the field running tests. In this report, analyzed data about the field running test are shown. And, it is cleared that the center of gravity of the load which depends on the sole are good criteria for changes in attitude of the standing passengers by the data obtained by the stationary ramp equipment.
