UIC 513

Railway Passenger Ride Comfort Evaluation

This standard provides methods for measuring and evaluating passenger comfort in railway vehicles in relation to vibration and shock phenomena. It specifies measurement procedures, instrumentation requirements, and assessment criteria for vertical, lateral, and longitudinal vibrations across typical operating conditions. The test is essential for railway operators, vehicle manufacturers, and comfort engineering specialists to design and verify vehicles that meet passenger expectations and regulatory requirements. Accredited laboratories ensure standardized, reproducible comfort assessments that inform vehicle procurement decisions and operational optimization.

What it measures

  • Vertical vibration acceleration and frequency response
  • Lateral vibration in horizontal plane
  • Longitudinal vibration along travel direction
  • Jerk and shock impulses during acceleration/braking
  • Vibration exposure duration and passenger discomfort index
