The ride quality in automobiles carried aboard enclosed, airsprung railcars traveling over conventional rail roadbeds was determined. Evaluation of the data indicates that railcars transporting automobiles with their passengers could be built with minimal securement systems and could provide a ride of good quality. Two test automobiles were inserted inside an air-sprung railcar, equipped with instrumented dummies, and transported a total of 2200 rail miles during which ride vibrations and passenger reactions were recorded. The testing included alterations to the automobiles' suspension systems and different types of trackwork. Ride quality was also determined on highways using the same instrumentation. The data was analyzed by a combination of manual and automated methods. Acceleration distribution functions and frequency spectra were generated with a digital computer. (Author)
