Safety Standards Analysis through standard testing...
Bus transport is a very common medium in metro-cities as well as for inter-state travel which necessitates the need for an increased scrutiny of their safety. Due to high number of rollover accidents, many countries have started evaluation processes to learn how such accidents can be reduced. In order to ensure passenger safety, many bus coach manufacturing companies are bound to meet bus safety standards through testing and analysis
At ELENO, we perform following analyses for Bus/Coaches:
Full Bus CAE analysis capabilities (FMVSS / ECE / AIS regulations)
- Front / Rear / Side crash test
- Roll-over 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 summary after studying the results and the stress pattern on the bus, benefits of virtual rollover using advance simulation tools are as under:
- Maximum load carrying/critical members are strengthened to provide strength and support
- Safety of the Passengers/Driver/Co-Driver
- Reduction in number testing vehicle
- To understand the nature and pattern of forces acting on the BUS (structure) in normal and tangential directions, which helped the designer to use the correct cross section of tubes at right location saving the overdesign of the Bus
