What is Sperling ride index?
Sperling's ride index (Wz) method determines the ride indices values at different speeds with random track irregularity. The proposed multi-body dynamic model is analysed, and the results are compared with oscillation test trials performed and reported by the Research Design and Standards Organisation (RDSO).
What is ride index?
A ride index is just a number with no units and its value gives us an indication of the riding comfort of a vehicle. The index is easily calculable during field trials by measuring the vertical/lateral accelerations using standard accelerometers.
