As part of my research project during my masters, I worked on the topic '' To find the  Ride comfort parameters for an autonomous shuttle and calculating ride comfort indexes for the Shuttle model using simulation in IPG CarMaker''. Currently, in process of writing a technical paper on the same.

The most important tasks included-

• Literature review of the Ride comfort parameters.

• Analyzing the factors that cause disturbances and the inability of the standing passengers to maintain their balance. 

• Finding ride comfort indices for the passengers standing in a bus.

• Estimating threshold values of the ride comfort parameters.

• Using the Virtual Model of a Real Autonomous Bus, analyzing the vehicle dynamics parameters and then calculating the ride comfort indices according to ISO 2631-1 and EN 12299 for the journey around the university.

• Estimating the threshold values of the bus's longitudinal, lateral and vertical vibration and acceleration in order to maintain a comfortable ride experience for the standing passengers.

• Determining the type of supports that help maintain balance in case of longitudinal and lateral perturbations.
