| Abstract | The major goal of the second phase was to estimate the absolute comfort levels which would be associated with actual travel on highspeed, interurban, fixed-guideway, transportation systems. To accomplish this goal, the study design incorporated many of the features to e found in such travel including realistic trip durations, simulations of the visual aspects of the countryside, control of subject expectation through descriptions of the characteristics of the vehicles simulated, and subject performance of activities analogous to those actually caried out during travel. Forty-five minute trip lengths (approximately the duration planned for the mag-lev systems) were used and during these trips, apssengers were exposed to five eight-minute trip segments which represented different speed-guideway configurations. |
