Book excerpt: The motion of an occupant during a rollover crash is often Violent and complicated. This motion needs to be studied so as to determine how best to protect an occupant during a rollover crash, and the best tool known is computer models which simulate the motion of an occupant. It was the Air Force's Articulated Total Body (ATB) model which was used. The accuracy of the simulations by this model has to be determined through a limited number of rollover crash tests. Five such tests were conducted under this program using a specially designed rollover test device, and the corresponding simulations of the motion of a dummy occupant are presented. The accuracy of the simulations obtained for these five tests with a rollover test device and the similar accuracy for one full-scale crash test conducted earlier on a different testing program provide confidence that an occupant's motion during a rollover crash, whether belted or unbelted, can be satisfactorily simulated by the Air Forces ATB.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rollover crashes are complex and relatively infrequent compared with other types of vehicle crashes, but they result in highest fatality rates among all common types of vehicle accidents. The Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV's) are the most common vehicles involved in rollover crashes compared to other vehicles. Different types of static and dynamic test methods have been proposed and implemented to evaluate the performance of a vehicle in rollover crashes. However due to complexity of rollover crashes, no specific dynamic method is required at present to evaluate the rollover crash and occupant protection responses, as a several factors could affect the rollover impact outcome. In this study, the finite element modeling and simulation of a typical SUV is first conducted for static roof crush test per regulatory Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) 216. Once model evaluation and validation is completed, the finite element modeling and simulation of a simplified Jordan Rollover System (JRS) is conducted and the results are compared with these corresponding to an unconstrained rollover tests, both performed on the same SUV. A parametric study is conducted for pertinent dynamic rollover parameters such as drop height of the vehicle, and the platform floor speed. The results from the simulation test measurements including intrusion of roof components, reaction/contact force on the platform, roll angle, and roll rate of the vehicle, and the internal energy generated of the rollover are all examined and compared. Results from the simulations are analyzed to examine the significance of using either JRS or unconstrained rollover models. Recommendations are made based on initial rollover conditions for better dynamic approach and suggestion for test protocols or standards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This SAE Recommended Practice is intended to establish guidelines for conducting passenger car roll-over tests so that data obtained by various test facilities may be more readily compared. A description is provided of the facilities and procedures for a curved rail-ramp technique, which has been found to be successful in producing roll-overs. Techniques and instrumentation for the study and evaluation of vehicle structure effects and occupant movement resulting from roll-overs produced by the curved rail-ramp system are also specified.The curved rail-ramp procedure has been evolved from laboratory and field studies and tests which have sought to establish procedures which would provide realistic simulations of roll-over accidents without collision, and which would be reproducible among laboratories and between different types of passenger cars. The original issue of SAE J857 described ground level and hill roll-over techniques. However, it was found that these procedures were not always successful in producing roll-overs and the results were never reproducible. Study of the deficiencies of the previous techniques led to the addition of a curved guide rail to the ramp method of ground level roll-over, described in the original version of J857. While reproducibility of results is still limited, the curved rail-ramp system has been found to achieve roll-overs consistently, a significant step forward in the study of the roll-over event.Because there remains some general interest in the ground level and high roll-over techniques reported originally and for historical continuity, these techniques are reported in the Appendix to this recommended practice.Procedures and equipment described will be subject to continuing review and will be revised as experience and improvements in the technology warrant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collision Reconstruction Methodologies - Volume 6A - 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 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.

Download or read book Vehicle Accident Analysis and Reconstruction Methods written by Matthew Brach and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2022-01-07 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this third edition of Vehicle Accident Analysis & Reconstruction Methods, Raymond M. Brach and R. Matthew Brach have expanded and updated their essential work for professionals in the field of accident reconstruction. Most accidents can be reconstructed effectively using of calculations and investigative and experimental data: the authors present the latest scientific, engineering, and mathematical reconstruction methods, providing a firm scientific foundation for practitioners. Accidents that cannot be reconstructed using the methods in this book are rare. In recent decades, the field of crash reconstruction has been transformed through the use of technology. The advent of event data records (EDRs) on vehicles signaled the era of modern crash reconstruction, which utilizes the same physical evidence that was previously available as well as electronic data that are measured/captured before, during, and after the collision. There is increased demand for more professional and accurate reconstruction as more crash data is available from vehicle sensors. The third edition of this essential work includes a new chapter on the use of EDRs as well as examples using EDR data in accident reconstruction. Early chapters feature foundational material that is necessary for the understanding of vehicle collisions and vehicle motion; later chapters present applications of the methods and include example reconstructions. As a result, Vehicle Accident Analysis & Reconstruction Methods remains the definitive resource in accident reconstruction.
