Research Progress on Side Impact Safety of Passenger Bus
In order to improve and formulate the side impact safety regulations of buses with Chinese characteristics,firstly,the side impact safety regulations of European and American vehicles are elaborated in the article,and the current status of Chinese bus regulations is introduced,and the differences between the side impact regulations of Europe and the United States are compared in terms of the collision form,the type of dummies,the collision speed,the position of the dum-mies and the evaluation indexes.Secondly,from the perspective of collision experiment,the current research status of side impact safety of buses at home and abroad is summarized in terms of real-vehicle collision,cart experiment and computer simulation experiment,and the computer simulation experiment is elaborated in terms of strength,structure and stiffness.Finally,based on the current domestic and international research status on the crash safety of buses,the development trend of improving the passive safety of buses is predicted,i.e.,virtual measurement technology,active-passive integration,and crash compatibility.The research results can provide theoretical references for the introduction of side impact regulations for buses in China.
