A Study on the Rollover Safety of Bus Body with Consideration of Occupant Injury.

Based on the requirements of regulation ECE R66, a finite element (FE) model for bus body section is built with its simulation accuracy verified by test, and the rollover process and structural deformation of bus are analyzed. On this basis a FE model for body section with occupants is then constructed to investigate the motion path, injury status and their evaluation of occupants at different positions with and without safety belt worn.
