Abstract

It is observed by the passengers of the BMTC buses that the Shocks/Jerks experienced in the rear seats is more while compared to the front seats as the shock absorbers are located at position A (Front Wheels) and B (Rear Wheels). The jerks are directly absorbed in these zones. However, the position C (Free End) acts as a free handing lever. Imagine it somewhat like holding a scale with half the length outside the table and you are holding the end on the table. The hanging part acts like a cantilever. Even slight disturbance near the free area closer to the table results in large displacement in the extreme free end. The same thing happens in the bus. Point C is the free extreme and point B is the fixed end. Hence to overcome the effect on rear seat passenger we are fabricating and implementing suspensions in the rear seats.
