Packaged products are commonly shipped using a variety of vehicles types including truck, train, and airplane. Each type of vehicle has been thoroughly studied to understand the motion associated with each. Recently, motorcoach buses have been used to transport packaged products, however no published analysis of their motion is available. Greyhound Lines ships packages daily through their Package Express Service. There are over 2,700 hundred Greyhound Package Express headquarters around the country, and approximately 20 packages are shipped from every location daily. Amazon.com has also explored using bus transportation to ship packages and has filed a patent for this type of delivery under “Mobile Pickup Locations”. This study focuses on the collection and analysis of motorcoach motion with a goal of developing a comprehensive understanding of their vibration input to packaged products.With packaged products being shipped daily via motorcoach buses, vibration data from these vehicles can prove useful in package design. Once collected and analyzed, this data can be used for laboratory replication of bus vibration and the testing of products encountering this environment.
