Abstract
In this study, field vibrations were surveyed to investigate travel comfort of two different rail systems in Istanbul and the reasons of low comfort zones. With this purpose, first Aksaray-Airport metro line and then Zeytinburnu-Kabataş tram line were investigated with their superstructure information. For gathering information to determine travel comfort, a 3- axis accelerometer was placed under the seat of driver. And results were determined according to ISO 2631-4 standard. At the end of measurements, total weighted values toward the relevant axis's were obtained with 1/3 octave band acceleration values by applying gains defined in frequency weight filters.
