Gives a method for quantifying the effects of carbody movements on Ride comfort for passengers ("Comfort"). Included in this standard are vehicles that are designed for carrying passengers travelling on railway lines, including secondary and suburban lines but is limited to railway services. This can be used as a guide for other railway vehicles e.g. locomotives, metros, trams, etc. Applicable to passengers in good health.
