© 2018 Author(s).Indonesia automated people mover from Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, is a mass public transport using electric motor as its driving source and using a very clean technology that runs on a special track, so it can effectively reduce the level of traffic congestion in Bandung that are densely populated. Before it can be used by the public, the automated people mover must meet any government regulated testing to ensure the safety aspect of the passengers. One of the regulated tests is dynamic test or comfort test. The government regulation that must be met by the automated people mover is the Regulation of the Minister of Transport No. 175 of 2015. In addition, other standards are also used as a reference for testing and analysis as well as standard operating procedure (SOP). The testing process will be carried out in accordance with the standard operating procedure that have been made and used standardized test equipment on the first prototype of automated people mover in test track at Subang, West Java, Indonesia. The measurement data will be analyzed using MATLAB and compared with the selected standards. The results of the analysis of first prototype show that for ISO 2631 standard, there are no resultant r.m.s acceleration below 0.315 m/s2. According to Sperling’s ride index, riding quality for longitudinal and lateral accelerations is below 2.5 while for vertical acceleration, it is above 2.5. According to the fatigue-decreased proficiency boundaries graph, passengers can feel comfortable at average for 1 hour for longitudinal direction, 16 minutes for lateral direction, and 16 minutes for vertical direction.
