Popis: Nowadays the use of coaches as ground collective transport is generalizing in society and besides, its use is encouraged by all public institutions. Users of this type of vehicles request that they are comfortable, even more in long trips. Therefore, decreasing noise and vibrations inside the coach is a essential requirement to obtain a good quality of the vehicle and the satisfaction of the traveller. To increase the vibroacoustic comfort it is necessary to know qualitatively and quantitatively the noise and vibration sources, as well as their transmission paths. Thus, in this work a procedure has been defined and applied to measure and analyse the vibration and acoustic behaviour of a coach in different operating modes: idling, three constant speeds, acceleration and deceleration. 32 acceleration and sound pressure signals have been acquired, corresponding to different interior and exterior points of the coach. The analysis of the acceleration autospectra has allowed to determine the contribution of elements like floor, glasses and lateral panels to the sound pressure perceived by the traveller in the passenger compartment in the different studied operating modes.
