Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The primary objectives of this project are to investigate how the risks associated with vehicle rollover are affected by the interaction of a vehicle and roadside characteristics, and to provide appropriate recommendations for the improvement of rollover safety properties of light trucks while maintaining the desirable characteristics of these vehicles. Both experimental tests and simulated results using a validated computer simulation are employed. The analysis considers the different causes of vehicle rollover in each test case. The development of quantitative measures to assess vehicle rollover propensity and to rank the rollover risks is also presented.
