In order to truly obtain the feature extraction of vibration signals under the strong background noise, the analysis and improvement of empirical mode decomposition （EMD） is carried on. After that, the improved EMD is applied to the feature extraction of vehicle vibration signals. First, the multi-autocorrelation method is adopted in each input signal,so the noise is reduced effectively. Then, EMD is used to deal with these signals,and the intrinsic mode functions （IMFs） are obtained. Finally, for obtaining the feature information of these signals, the Hilbert transformation and the spectrum analysis are performed in some IMFs. Theoretical analysis and ex- periment verify the effectiveness of the method, which are valuable reference for the same engineering problems.
