The task force was assigned responsibility for the following activities: 1 Formulate a recommendation for an acceptable ride meter including features, functional performance, and design specifications. 2 Conduct a survey to determine if there is a commercially available ride meter conforming to the recommendation. 3 If an acceptable ride meter is not commercially available, work with an electronics supplier to initiate a design and build a working prototype of a meter conforming to the recommendation.

The purpose of this report is to record the activities and recommendations of the Ride Meter Task Force assigned by the chairman of the SAE Joint Seating Subcommittee to determine availability of instrumentation to measure operator ride on mobile equipment. The desired characteristics of the meter included relatively low cost, easy to operate, highly portable, and sufficiently rugged to withstand the vibration levels encountered on agricultural or construction machines. It is recognized that a ride meter type instrument with a single numerical output provides only approximate indication of ride vibration quality, but is useful for general field evaluation or overall ride comparisons. A narrow band analysis of the vibration frequency spectrum is recommended for more accurate and complete results.

This SAE Standard provides a method to obtain consistent force-deflection data of finished (or unfinished, when specified) cushioned components of seats for off-road work machines as listed in SAE J1116. This data may be helpful in maintaining seat comfort characteristics and quality control. There is no intent to establish any acceptance criteria.

This SAE Standard defines a method for the measurement of the whole body vibration to which the seated operator of off-highway self-propelled work machines is exposed while performing an actual or simulated operation. It applies to vibration transmitted to the operator through the seat. There are no equivalent ISO Standards.

This SAE Standard defines a method for the measurement of the whole body vibration to which the seated operator of off-highway self-propelled work machines is exposed while performing an actual or simulated operation. It applies to vibration transmitted to the operator through the seat. There are not equivalent ISO Standards. In the main body of this document, conditions are defined for measuring and recording whole body vibration of the seated operator of off-highway self-propelled work machines. The specification of instruments, analytic methods, and description of site and operating conditions allows the measurements to be made and reported with an acceptable precision. The procedure includes means of weighing the vibration level at different frequencies as specified in ISO2631. A standard format for reporting spectral data is recommended. The definitions, instruments, and analytic methods also apply to simulated tests for operator vibration as performed in laboratories.
