| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the current automobile industry, the demand for ultra-compact vehicles as a means of transportation within a local area for elderly people has been increasing. The effect of vibration of such vehicles on ride comfort is significant because of their small size and light weight, and it increases the discomfort perceived by persons in the vehicle. To solve this problem, we have proposed active seat suspension that can be installed in ultra-compact electric vehicles. To improve the ride comfort of vehicles, in addition to reducing the vibration acceleration of the seat surface, it is also necessary to control the vibration on the basis of the ride comfort perceived by drivers such as to reflect the mood and mental state at the time. In this study, we carried out a traveling experiment and examined the effect of vertical vibrations on ride comfort by evaluating physiological and psychological information.
