This study reports on the crash performance of small poststandard (manufactured after April 1, 1977) school buses and vans used for school transportation. Occupants of these small school buses generally fared well in the accidents investigated. As a result of this safety study, recommendations were issued to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, manufacturers of small school buses, and various associations of school transportation officials and contractors. The recommendations focus on the following safety issues: design of restraining barriers; feasibility of providing lap/shoulder belts or other restraints with upper torso support for passengers; deficiencies in roof and joint strength; lack of Federal performance standards for school bus windshield retention; design of the boarding door controls in certain small school buses; and the need to correct improper installation and use of lapbelts and other restraints.

The findings of an investigation conducted as a result of 4 fatal accidents involving non-conforming buses used to transport school children (NBTSC). The investigation identified safety issues in these areas: adequacy of occupant crash protection and crashworthiness of NBTSC; adequacy of State reg. and guidelines governing NBTSC; and adequacy of State laws governing the use of restraint systems in NBTSC. Appendices: Fed. motor vehicle safety standards for buses; history of safety recomm. on school bus crashworthiness and operations; injuries; guideline for the safe transport. of pre-school children in school buses; and status of Safety Recommendations on Child Restraining Systems.

Buses and coaches form a vital part of the national as well as city public transportation network. Buses are still one of the safest modes of transportation. Nevertheless, bus accidents resulting in passenger injuries and fatalities do occur. According to the Traffic Safety Facts statistical reports from 1999 to 2003, an average of 40 fatalities and 18,430 injuries of bus occupants occurred per year. These accidents involved normal vehicle impacts, such as head-on or rear-end collisions. In this thesis the crashworthiness of the passenger compartment in a mass transit bus is evaluated and interior design guidelines that will mitigate the fatalities and injuries of the occupants during a crash event are recommended. Computational modeling and crash sled testing are used to analyze the frontal, side and rear accident scenarios in the passenger compartment. This report includes the evaluation of occupant injury during three accident scenarios by validating numerical models through MADYMO and LSDYNA codes versus experimental sled tests using Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSSs) 208 injury criteria. Interior components are evaluated against crashworthiness requirements from the FMVSS and the Standard Bus Procurement Guidelines (SBPG). The sled pulses were generated from validated bus model finite element (FE) simulations of critical real-crash scenarios for frontal, rear and side conditions. The validated numerical model was then subjected to parametric studies to analyze the influence of the current vehicle interior design parameters, e.g., Seat spacing, seat height, location etc. on passenger kinematics and biomechanical performance. This study was carried out through a Design of Experiments (DOE). Optimization studies were carried out to define new bus interior designs that would reduce or mitigate passenger injuries.
