The objective of this paper is to explore a new comfort evaluation method, which is suitable for studying the comfort of casualty transported by a military ambulance. The paper applies existing vibration evaluation methods to quantitatively obtain comfort of non-ambulatory casualty, stimulates the patients with different vibrational conditions, and analyses the annoyance rates with psychophysics knowledge as well as the ratio of war to disaster injuries and susceptibility of the wounded. The road test proves that this new method is feasible for vibrational comfort evaluation of non-ambulatory casualty and gains quantitative advantages over the traditional methods.…
