The definition of the ride attribute is very difficult because it is part of human perception during driving. For vehicle dynamics work, have details of what is good or what is bad considering driving comfort, usually, induces some controversial opinions.In this work, the use of a single accelerometer is shown as a tool to characterize the basic vehicle vibrational behavior and so support the correlation between human perception and the resulting ride comfort presented. By using PSD theory, it is possible to “see” how the vehicle vibrates and so have a better understanding of where in the vehicle is located a possible issue and how to fix it.In a more advanced point of view is possible to characterize each vehicle with a ride “personality”, this meaning how each brand and model behave and so how vehicle behave to the consumer approve or complain about it..
