Download or read book Rollover Accident Reconstruction written by Nathan A Rose and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “of the nearly 9.1 million passenger car, SUV, pickup and van crashes in 2010, only 2.1% involved a rollover. However, rollovers accounted for nearly 35% of all deaths from passenger vehicle crashes. In 2010 alone, more than 7,600 people died in rollover crashes.” Rollover accidents continue to be a leading contributor of vehicle deaths. While this continues to be true, it is pertinent to understand the entire crash process. Each stage of the accident provides valuable insight into the application of reconstruction methodologies. Rollover Accident Reconstruction focuses on tripped, single vehicle rollover crashes that terminate without striking a fixed object. Topics featured in this book include: • Analysis methods through various accident phases, including advanced simulation • Vehicle event data recorder usage • Occupant ejection during rollover crash The goal of this title is to break down the various phases of a rollover crash to analyze each stage for use in the reconstruction process - to the greater understanding of crash analysts, consultants and safety engineers alike.

Book excerpt: Explains that the static stability factor is an indicator of a vehicle's propensity to roll over, and that US government ratings for vehicles do not reflect differences in rollover resistance. This report states that the 5-star system should allow discrimination among vehicles and incorporate results from road tests that measure vehicle control.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In terms of frequency of accidents, rollover crashes are uncommon among all other crash types or directions. However, they are associated with highest fatality rate than any other crashes, as 33% of fatalities in automobile crashes correspond to rollover crashes. Beside a static roof crush test procedure, there is yet no standard dynamic test procedure to certify a vehicle for occupant rollover protection, because of its complexity and various factors that affect the outcome of the rollover crashes. The unpredictability of the rollover makes it difficult to design standard test procedure. There are various factors and parameters that affect the rollover crashes such as vehicle speed, height of its fall, angle of contact with the ground, side of contact, reason for the rollover, etc. The countermeasure for these parameters are also difficult to be included in a standard test procedure. The present study is focused on development and utilization of a computational finite element model of typical SUV vehicle in static and unconstrained dynamic rollover tests. The vehicle is subjected to various dynamic rollover parameters, including the height of its fall, longitudinal speed of the vehicle during the rollover and angle of contact with the ground. In the end, various parametric studies are examined on a Toyota RAV4 rollover crash, the energy inducing and the force imparting to the vehicle are analyzed, and their effects shall be identified for a recommended set of initial roll parameters.
Download or read book Rollover Accident Reconstruction written by Christopher D Armstrong and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2018-11-02 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collision Reconstruction Methodologies - Volume 6C - The last ten years have seen explosive growth in the technology available to the collision analyst, changing the way reconstruction is practiced in fundamental ways. The greatest technological advances for the crash reconstruction community have come in the realms of photogrammetry and digital media analysis. The widespread use of scanning technology has facilitated the implementation of powerful new tools to digitize forensic data, create 3D models and visualize and analyze crash vehicles and environments. The introduction of unmanned aerial systems and standardization of crash data recorders to the crash reconstruction community have enhanced the ability of a crash analyst to visualize and model the components of a crash reconstruction. Because of the technological changes occurring in the industry, many SAE papers have been written to address the validation and use of new tools for collision reconstruction. Collision Reconstruction Methodologies Volumes 1-12 bring together seminal SAE technical papers surrounding advancements in the crash reconstruction field. Topics featured in the series include: • Night Vision Study and Photogrammetry • Vehicle Event Data Recorders • Motorcycle, Heavy Vehicle, Bicycle and Pedestrian Accident Reconstruction The goal is to provide the latest technologies and methodologies being introduced into collision reconstruction - appealing to crash analysts, consultants and safety engineers alike.

Download or read book Protecting Occupants During Passenger Vehicle Rollover Crashes written by David Paul Young (Engineer) and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 910 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rollover crashes have been acknowledged as one of the most dangerous forms of passenger vehicle crashes (NHTSA, 2006b). The detailed review of the research literature presented in Chapter 2 and cited throughout this thesis, has identified rollover to be a significant social issue in both the US and Australia due to the high proportion of road fatalities and serious injuries this crash mode accounts for. These findings are evidence of an inherent lack of adequate rollover crashworthiness design in modern day vehicles, which in turn has led to a low degree of occupant protection and the high serious injury and fatality rates observed in these crashes.The literature review also identified that a significant number of injuries result from occupants being ejected. While researchers have demonstrated a good understanding of how to prevent such ejections, and therefore the resulting injuries, there remains conflict and confusion when research focus turns to the serious and fatal injuries of contained occupants, particularly when considering spinal neck injuries.This conflict is primarily a result of a series of differing findings of researchers regarding the cause of these injuries. These conflicting findings result from the development of two seemingly contradictory theories which attempt to explain how spinal neck injury is inflicted on contained occupants during rollovers. This has in turn confused opinions on the best method to improve the rollover crashworthiness design of vehicles for close to forty years. As a result, the number and proportion of rollover fatalities has remained high in Australia, and in the US has increased from the mid-1980s to today.

Book excerpt: "This report summarizes research results from the Rollover Data Special study (RODSS) project. The research encompassed the design of a RODSS database for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, review of the RODSS data to evaluate the quality of the data collected and wheter they can support crash safety evaluations, and analysis of detailed rollover crash data records to assess the effectiveness of recent safety features in light vehicles (e.g., passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, minivans, vans, and light pickup trucks) in minimizing the occurrence of rollover crashes and in mitigating occupant injuries that result from such crashes. These safety features include rollover protection that includes sensors to trigger inflatable side curtain air bags to mitigate occupant injuries, electronic stability control to reduce loss of yaw control, and roll stability control to minimize the number of rollover crashes."--Technical report documentation page.
