Abstract

In the belief that the field of study of human responses to whole-body oscillatory motion falls within the ambit of human factors and ergonomics, a human-factor-and-ergonomics perspective is adopted here in an attempt to recognise some possible applicative reverberations of expected road-transport innovations. The need for a general framework taking into account ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ features as well as ‘subjective’ and ‘objective’ implications is identified. The comprehensive concept of ride quality is suggested as a good candidate to cope with the complexity of the open problems.
