Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: This paper describes the problems of obtaining passenger ratings of their subjective reactions to different vehicle environments. The rationale for assessing subjective reactions is discussed. Several methods of measuring passenger comfort are noted, and two common methods are described in detail, along with the base for choosing between them. Practical and psychometric considerations governing the use of rating scales are reviewed, and the importance of individual differences is noted. Finally, a standard sequence of steps is presented for analyzing subjective data and deriving comfort models.
