Abstract

If the elements in charge of active safety in the vehicles participating in road traffic are those, whose aim is to minimize the possibilities for occurrence of a traffic accident, such as a series of electronic systems in charge of the handling and stability of the vehicle in all conditions of movement (ABS, ASR, ESP systems, etc.), features and passive safety systems should minimize the consequences of the accident, primarily in terms of preventing endangerment of the body and life of the driver and passengers in the vehicle. In addition to all the passive safety systems installed in the vehicles for the protection of the driver and passengers, such as seat belts, airbags, the way of designing the elements inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle, which should prevent possible injuries in a case of impact, chassis, self-supporting structures and bodies of vehicles, should be performed with more deformable zones. The purpose of these deformable zones is to accumulate (absorb) as much as possible the kinetic energy of the impact, so that the deformations would not reach the passenger cabin, i.e. the space in which the driver and passengers are accommodated would remain undeformed, and thus the space for the survival of passengers would be saved. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the structural features of the body of vehicles from the point of view of passive safety, with special reference to the passenger bus in terms of preserving space for passengers in overturning and some other features of passive safety in charge of injury protection of passengers in the passenger compartment.
