Abstract

As a next-generation metropolitan transportation means, nowadays non-step bus is in the spotlight world widely. However, in the design of non-step bus, the most important consideration should be focused on the securing of the survival space for passengers in unexpected traffic accident. In this context, this paper presents the finite element analysis of the rollover and head-on crash response of a composite non-step bus. A 3-D full-scale finite element model of the non-step bus, together with the simulation conditions which are consistent with the safety test rules established in Europe, is employed for the realistic and reliable numerical analysis.
