Crash Protection: Operator and Children
项目名称: Crash Protection: Operator and Children
摘要: The bus transit industry lacks information about the performance of buses in crashes, including energy absorption and forces transmitted to passengers and driver. Interior redesign could lessen passenger injuries in crash. Wichita State University (WSU) will perform finite-element engineering analysis of crash performance of buses to better understand how crash forces are transmitted to passengers. They will use virtual reality simulation to describe effects of bus crashes graphically and conduct sled tests using instrumented crash dummies to verify results of mathematical modeling of injury severity caused by typical bus interior features. WSU will provide recommendations for improved vehicle design to mitigate passenger injuries.
