The objective of the study was to identify factors leading to significant differences in truck ride quality for a representative sample of long haul trucks in regular commercial use. Representatives of industry and labor organizations were contacted in order to obtain their assessments of key problem areas. The state of the art in ride assessment technology was reviewed. In-service measurements were made with a typical variety of truck types, tires, seats, loads, speeds, roadways, and drivers. The collected data were used to compute various ride quality measures, and include comprehensive statistics, spectra and ISO weighted measures. No clear ride superiority was shown for any one type of tractor configuration, suspension, or seat.
