The FEA Validation of Side Underrun Protection Device (SUPD) for Heavy Commercial Vehicles
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
There exists a large mismatch between a passenger vehicle and heavy commercial vehicle so it may lead to fatalities or injuries when a light passenger vehicle like bicyclist or a motorcyclist is collided with the lateral side of a heavy vehicle. This paper aims to study& develop a new model of a side Under ride protection device (SUPD) used for heavy commercial vehicles like trucks in order to avoid or reduce any road fatalities or injury to unprotected road users like pedestrians or bicyclists due to side impact to a heavy commercial vehicles. In this work, the design of SUPD is optimized by using FEA, which meets the requirements of I. S. standard. This study also ensures the quality and feasibility of manufacturing which leads to greater occupant safety in case of any accident.
