Measurement of Truck Transport Vibration Levels in China as a Functionn of Road Conditions, Truck Speed and Load Level

摘要

Transport vibration levels in trucks were measured as a function of truck speed, road conditions and load level. The trucks consisted of one normally loaded truck and one overloaded truck with leaf-spring suspensions. Truck speeds were divided into three groups: 0-30km/h, 31-60km/h and 61-90km/h. Traffic roads consisted of highways, arterial roads (ARs), secondary roads (SRs) and tertiary roads (TRs). The results revealed that transport vibration levels increased with truck speed; TRs contribute
