Ride quality in terms of vibration is a fundamental factor affecting passengers’ satisfaction. Every year, passenger carriers invest significantly in various aspects of their system, including track and infrastructure, to improve ride quality. The assessment of ride quality and understanding the extent of the impact of different parameters on its magnitude is essential for railway operators to make informed decisions regarding capital expenditures. This paper presents a methodology for using machine learning techniques to find the correlation between various parameters (including train speed, weather conditions, presence of track features, and composition of the track substructure) and ride quality (quantified using measurements from accelerometers mounted on a rail car). The statistical model was developed using field measurements collected over a 50 km section of VIA Rail’s track in Canada. This paper describes the collected field data, the development of the statistical model, and discusses the importance of each parameter on the accuracy of the model.
