Abstract

According to the statistics one or two bus roll-overs monthly take place in the world. Such vehicular accidents are the most dangerous for buses shuttling to 60 people. As a rule, a bus driver is at-fault. When vehicular accident is sure, it is necessary to be supported by systems reducing the accident severity of a driver and passengers. These systems refer to passive safety of the bus design and its body is the main. The paper has analyzed the issues concerning increasing impact strength properties of the bus body in roll-over. Particularly, the paper offers to consider the degree of impact of the window sill elevation on the bus body deformation in roll-over.
