Abstract
The response of vehicle occupants to road inputs is an important factor in the design of any vehicle. A suspension ought to provide the greatest possible comfort. On the other hand, on poor roads and in off-road operation, protection of the occupants from actual damage is most important. Tractor drivers in particular are at risk of lower-back injuries and possibly damage to viscera (liver, heart and brain).
