본 논문은 유리섬유 에폭시 면재에 알루미늄 하니컴 샌드위치 복합재가 적용된 저상버스 차체에 대한 정면충돌과 전복에 대한 특성에 대해 연구하였다. 이때 충돌과 전복 해석은 외연유한요소 해석 프로그램인 LS-DYNA3D를 이용하였다. 차체 구조물에 적용되는 적층 복합재 면재에 대해 기계적 특성시험을 통하여 물성을 획득하였고, 직교이방성 특성을 갖는 하니컴 심재의 물성은 유효등가손상 모델을 적용하였다. 저상버스의 충돌 해석은 60km/h의 속도로 정면충돌 사고를 모사하여 해석을 수행하였고, 전복해석은 유럽 안전법규 ECE-R66의 시험 방법을 고려하여 해석하였다. 저상버스의 정면충돌과 전복에 대해 운전자와 승객의 생존 공간 안전성에 관한 결과를 보여준다. 또한, 수정된 Chang-Chang 파손기준식은 충돌과 전복해석에 대한 복합재 구조물의 파손 모드 예측에 추천된다.

Bus manufacturers have tested and studied the dynamic collapse behavior of a bus body structure in rollover since UN ECE established ECE Regulation 66 to provide the requirement for the strength of bus structure. In spite of the costly cycles of practical tests, however, it is still a hard task to meet the rollover regulation by means of local reinforcements in the bus structure. Therefore it is necessary to develop a well designed strategy for the rollover strength implemented in the early stage of vehicle development. In this study, the suitable development method for each design stage from a component to complete body structure was considered to make a well-established development process of a bus body structure for rollover safety. For the efficient approach of the concept design stage, a numerical model based on the plastic hinge theory was used instead of detailed shell models. After setting up the concept design for the component size and geometry, the shell model was used to confirm and optimize the whole structure composition. The process developed in this study was practically used as an effective method to predict the rollover behavior of a new bus body structure.

In Rollover crashes, the development of bus structure to ensure the maintenance of survival space for passengers is very important . So, this paper focuses on understanding the possibility of efficient structural development considering rollover strength through computer simulation using the commercial code, LS-DYNA3D at the initial stage of vehicle development structural members, and impact boundary conditions required by ADR59(Australian Design Rule 59)were applied. In order to confirm the validity of the computational results, the test results. After the usefulness of this method of analysis was confirmed , we have proposed the effective modificationfor rollover strength.

Occupant injuries are always possible in a rollover accident, one of the major accidents in a bus. Thus the structure of body frame should have sufficient strength to protect passengers under accidental loads,. ECE(Economic Commission for Europe) regulation No.66 prescribes that residual space shall be preserved in the passenger compartment during and after the structure has been subjected to the prescribed rollover test. Rollover test on a bus section was completed according to the regulation. The coordinates of body section before and after rollover were measured, and it was checked that the structure still complied with the requirements of residual space. Direct measurement on a bus is difficult because of its large size. Thus photogrammetry by photographing and 3 dimensional digital modeling was introduced, and the coordinates of each point were measured through this method.

The safety problems of buses have been arisen due to the increasing of road traffic. Occupant injuries are always possible in the rollover accident and the frontal impact. Thus the structure of bus should have sufficient strength to protect passengers under accidental loads. ECE(Economic Commission for Europe) regulation No.66 prescribes that the superstructure of the vehicle shall be sufficient strength for passengers' surviving and the residual space shall be preserved in the passenger compartment during and after the standard rollover accident situation. Rollover test and simulation on a large-sized bus was completed according to the regulation. The coordinates of the points on the bus were measured by photogrammetry system. The rollover situation was revived by structural crashes simulation software, PAM-CRASH, and it was checked that the structure still complied with the requirements of residual space during rollover situation. The residual space was preserved during rollover, so it was proved that the structure of the investigated bus had much probability of survival in rollover accidents.

This study is a study to estimate the VSL (Value of a Statistical Life) and CBA (Cost-benefit analysis) of the rollover safety standard for hydrogen buses, VSL is an economic value concept used to quantify the benefits of avoiding death. CBA shows the effect of cost-benefit, and if B/C is greater than 1, there is a social effect. In order to estimate the VSL and CBA, the hydrogen bus introduction scenario was assumed to be optimistic (20,000 vehicles in 2030), neutral (15,000 vehicles in 2030), and pessimistic (10,000 vehicles in 2030), and the effect of reducing human casualties was estimated. As a result, except for the pessimistic market situation of introducing hydrogen buses (10,000 vehicles in 2030) and the VSL reduction ratio of 10%, all policies were judged to have high cost-benefit effects. These results indicate that the introduction of the rollover safety standard for hydrogen buses is a socially effective policy.

In South Korea, to evaluate the rollover safety of domestic vehicles, the maximum slope angle of the vehicle is specified, which is verified by the rollover safety test of driving vehicles. However, the domestic rollover safety test is not suitable for buses, because the small amount of static stability factor (SSF) will invalidate the rollover experimental equation due to the high center of mass position of buses. To solve the above problems, a dynamic model of the bus is prepared with assumptions of mass and suspension spring properties. Subsequently, the maximum slope angle of the model was computed by using the simulation of multi-body dynamics, and the result was compared with actual test results to validate the dynamics model. Also, the rollover Fishhook (roll stability) test was conducted in the simulation for driving model. During the simulation, roll angle and roll rate were calculated to check if a rollover occurred. Through the rollover simulation of buses, the domestically regulated formula for rollover safety and the procedure of rollover test for driving vehicles are evaluated. The conclusion is that the present regulation of rollover test should be reconsidered for buses to ensure to get the valid results for rollover safety.

The Korean traffic systems for transportation vulnerable are still under development and their social life are limited even if the traffic environment systems are developed consistently. To secure his/her mobility right, it has been required to set up the particular system for the traffic welfare, for example the express and intercity bus operations for wheelchair users. The express and intercity bus development for wheelchair users based on the original bus model has been performed. This study has investigated the safety tolerance for the bus stiffness, rollover and side impact characteristics to ensure occupant safety using the finite element models. The wheelchair bus model showed the improved crashworthiness according to the partially reinforced structure and better safety tolerance for the wheelchair users.

The express/intercity bus models have been developing for wheelchair users to provide the preferable long-distance travels by the Korean government research. In the previous studies, evaluation method was set up for the wheelchair users' safety and the study for wheelchair occupants' safety was performed under various crash loadings mimic to real accidents, frontal crash, side impact and rollover, etc. This study was focused on the evaluation of occupant behaviors and injuries (head and chest) during vehicle impact loading cases in order to ensure the safety of wheelchair passengers in the bus. The occupant response and belt loading data during the sled FE simulation were compared with those of the sled test. The simulation results showed overall safety tolerances of wheelchair occupants under the severe frontal deceleration, side impact loading based on the FMVSS 214 configuration and bus rollover loading.

최근 경기도의 혼잡한 시간에 교통 문제를 해결하기 위해 2층 버스 서비스가 검토되고 있다. 2층 버스의 경우 높이와 폭의 비율이 일반 고속버스 보다 1.16배 이상 크며, 2층 버스의 C.G 점이 일반 버스보다 높다. 2층 버스가 고속 주행 시 강한 측면 바람 상태에서 차선 이탈과 같은 주행 안정성 문제가 특히 심각할 수 있다. 본 수치 해석 연구에서는 고속 주행 중 측면 바람 조건 및 편경사 조건에서 2층 버스의 주행 특성을 검토 하였다. 주어진 주행 조건에서 버스의 동적 안정성을 평가하기 위하여, CFD 수치 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 모델 버스의 롤링, 피칭 및 요잉모멘트를 계산하고, 도로 위 주어진 주행 조건하에서 모델 버스의 복구 각 모멘트 결과와 비교 하였다. 이 연구에서 모델 버스는 직선 도로를 따라 이동할 때 어떤 측면 바람 상태에서도 안정된 상태에 있다는 것을 알게 되었다. 그러나 버스가 측면 바람 상태에서 곡선 도로를 따라 이동 중에 측면 바람 (15m/s)에서 선회 반경이 100m 미만인 곡선 도로를 통과할 때 버스는 불안정한 조건에 동적으로 도달 할 수 있고 버스가 뒤집힐 가능성이 있다. 그러나 어떤 주행 조건에서도 모델 버스가 차선 이탈 가능성은 낮았다.
