An important aspect of passenger ride comfort in a transportation vehicle is the acceleration level of the passenger cabin. In order to incorporate ride quality into the design process of such vehicles, it is necessary to have reasonably validated analytical models to predict the acceleration levels at frequencies which affect passenger ride confort. The purpose of the report is to discuss the suitability of analytical models used to predict the heave acceleration in the passenger cabin of The Department of Transportation's Prototype Tracked Air Cushion Vehicle (PTACV). The basis of this evaluation is a comparison of theoretical predictions from an analytical model, typical of those in common usage today, with measured responses accumulated during testing of the PTACV on its test track.
