PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL PASSENGER VEHICLE ROLLOVER CRASH TESTS: A LITERATURE REVIEW

M Henty, Moustafa El–Gindy, Bohdan T. Kułakowski

Abstract

Rollover crashes have received more attention in recent years, and have a fatality rate second only to frontal crashes. Occupant safety in a rollover is a difficult challenge facing the auto industry due to the chaotic and unpredictable nature of the crash. Current standards do not ensure occupants involved in a rollover will be safe, and the search for a repeatable, accurate dynamic rollover test to be used for a new safety regulation is ongoing. This article, through literature review, attempts to add to the research on the dynamics of rollover crashes, focusing on increasing the use of simulation by finite element software, to better understand this crash mode and reduce rollover-related injuries and fatalities.
