Vehicle Dynamics Control for Rollover Prevention
Vehicle rollover accidents are a particularly dangerous form of road accident. Existing vehicle dynamics controllers primarily deal with yaw stability, and are of limited use for dealing with problems of roll instability. This thesis deals with the development of a new type of vehicle dynamics …

Simulation analysis of anti-rollover mechanism for vehicles
Rollover accidents are considered the most significant safety problems for all classes of light vehicles, especially pickups, Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV), Light Truck Vehicle (LTV) and vans. The main objective of the research is the design of a new mechanism able to keep the vehicle stable under …

Soft Surface Roll Mechanics Parameters for Light Vehicle Rollover Accident Reconstruction
Light vehicle rollover accidents on soft surfaces can be modeled assuming constant drag with linear motion equations and other engineering principles. The concept of using segment average results to evaluate roll mechanics parameters throughout a roll sequence, and specifically, segment duration to …

Computer model to simulate truck accidents on exit ramps
… registered vehicles in the United States, truck accidents have been a major concern due to the property damage and loss of lives involved. Growth trends show that the truck travel will reach 1 trillion vehicle miles by the end of the year 2000. This increase in truck travel poses a major threat …

Effects of baffles on damping lateral fluid sloshing oscillations in tanker trucks
… radius turns or lane change maneuvers have lower rollover threshold than other vehicles because of the high center of gravity and dynamic sloshing of the liquid payload. Payloads are often toxic and hence, rollover accidents can be catastrophic. Therefore, attempts to increase the threshold …

Development of an accident database for quantitative safety and risk analysis of highway bulk-package transportation of hazardous materials
… reliable information about the number of accidents, nature and severity of damages, frequency and severity of releases, and design specifications of involved packages. This thesis identifies necessary elements of an accident reporting system to collect sufficient information to evaluate …
