One of factors that affect the riding comfort of railway vehicle is vibrational acceleration. We developed a simulator which can reproduce railway vehicle acceleration. The riding comfort is evaluated intuitively through a subject pushes manual button when he or she feels bad riding comfort. In this study, we prepared 3 patterns of acceleration data and conducted the riding comfort evaluation test with 2 subjects. As the result, we found that subjects feel bad riding comfort when acceleration and jerk are in a specific amount. In addition, we can know that most of the bad riding comfort is from the low-frequency acceleration.
