Ride Comfort Design and Vibration Countermeasure Seminar for Automobiles (ICE Vehicles / Hybrid Vehicles)
On-demand seminar via Zoom + PDF textbook
Organized by: AITOP Co., Ltd.
Campaign fee: US$700 (all inclusive price)
This is a seminar where you can systematically learn practical knowledge on ride comfort (ride comfort) of ICE and hybrid vehicles.
You will understand the causes and influence range of vibration and acquire concepts for improving comfort at the design stage.
Through evaluation methods and improvement cases, you can gain practical knowledge applicable in real-world engineering work.

Do you have these issues?

  • Vibration characteristics differ between ICE and hybrid vehicles, making design difficult
  • No clear method for identifying vibration sources
  • Cannot determine priorities for ride comfort improvement at the design stage
  • Need practical procedures for evaluating and improving passenger comfort
  • Unclear how to verify improvement effects using CAE or test data in practice
Seminar Overview

Vehicle ride comfort is influenced by multiple complex factors such as engine, powertrain, suspension, and tires. This seminar organizes practical methods for ride comfort design, evaluation, and improvement, and connects them to real-world applications.

・ Overall picture of vehicle ride comfort and dominant vibration factors
・ Understanding vibration sources and frequency characteristics
・ Basics of ride comfort evaluation and practical usage
・ Approaches for vibration reduction and comfort improvement at the design stage
・ Improvement procedures and verification through practical case studies

Seminar Program

6. Practical points in NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) design

6-1 Concept of simultaneous optimization of vibration and noise
6-2 Gap between component-level design and full-vehicle design

Key Outcomes of This Seminar
  • Ability to separate multiple vibration factors affecting ride comfort and technically determine which should be prioritized depending on vehicle type
  • Ability to link subjective evaluation, vibration data, and CAE results to concretely advance ride comfort improvement at the design stage
Required Background Knowledge
  • Basic knowledge of undergraduate-level mathematics and mechanics is desirable; however, even without this background, explanations are provided carefully so that essential concepts and key points can be understood.
Bonus: Support via Email or Zoom
  • Free Q&A support regarding seminar content (15 days from the day after completion)
  • Free technical consulting for vibration-related work issues (15 days from the day after completion)
