A NASA-developed meter and computer model offers the first verifiable way of measuring ride quality. It transforms individual noise and vibration elements into subjective units, then translates the units into a discomfort index. The meter was designed by Wyle Laboratories under NASA contract. It performs well and has been sold to major manufacturers.
