	An optimal way to select parameters of a driver’s seat of a special vehicle, which contributes directly to an increase in driving comfort is presented in the work. A mathematical model of the vehicle was formulated by using of joint coordinates and homogenous transformations. A maneuver of driving over obstacles in a form of a speed bump of different heights and lengths is presented. A subject of the investigations was to select such damping parameters and driver’s seat stiffness to minimize amplitudes of vibrations present in this subassembly. An influence of a form of an objective function and a selection of decisive variables on quality of the optimization results obtained was analyzed.
