AB Vibrational properties of road vehicile are ussually evaluated according to two criterions, i. e. in terms of comfort for passengers and in terms of drive safety and roadway load. The topic of this article is focused on evaluation of passenger's ride comfort of a three-wheeled road vehicle. From the ride comfort point of view vertical vibration is decisive. Vertical vibration is given by obtained accelerations in given position on an assessed vehicle when it is driving on a road with various surface qualities within required time intervals. In the vehicle's design phase its vibrational properties are detected and evaluated by means of simulation computations on a virtual model. In our research we have assessed ride comfort of the three-wheeled vehicle, which were designed in our workplace. For purposes of dynamic analyses we have used multibody approach using Simpack software. The objective of this work is verification of the relevance of the current mounted suspension system for the greater driving speeds range of the three-wheeled vehicle and for different road qualities.
