To upgrade the riding comfort of the 0 Series Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen electric multiple-unit train, the suspension components of the bogies are successfully developed which improve the damping ratio of lateral body hunting motion. The result of field tests shows that the frequency of lateral body acceleration decreases about 1/1O as compared with the original bogie.
