Heavy Vehicle Safety Analysis
Bus transport is a very common medium in metro cities as well as for interstate travel, necessitating increased scrutiny of their safety. Due to the high number of rollover accidents, many countries have started evaluation processes to reduce such incidents. To ensure passenger safety, many bus coach manufacturing companies must meet stringent bus safety standards through rigorous testing and analysis.
At ELENO, we perform the following analyses for buses and coaches:
Full Bus CAE Analysis Capabilities (FMVSS / ECE / AIS Regulations):
- Front / Rear / Side Crash Test
- Rollover Test
- Roof Crush Test
Bus Sub-System CAE Analysis Capabilities:
- Seating System Analysis (SBA, SBS, HRP)
- EV Battery Enclosure Analysis (Fatigue, NVH, Durability)
- Suspension System Analysis
- Interior System Analysis (Foam, Plastic Trim, FRP)
Benefits of Virtual Rollover Analysis Using Advanced Simulation Tools:
- Strengthening of critical load-carrying members to provide enhanced strength and support
- Increased safety for passengers, drivers, and co-drivers
- Reduction in the number of testing vehicles required
- Improved understanding of the nature and pattern of forces acting on the bus structure, aiding designers in using the correct cross-section of tubes at optimal locations, thus preventing overdesign
