| Abstract | Collisions between pedestrians and city buses are one of the severe casualties in Thailand. This research aims todevelop an assessment program and to evaluate the front end of public city buses based on pedestrian injuries and mechanisms inThailand. Therefore, vehicle preparation and marking, testing conditions, and HIC requirements, assessment criteria, and roadmap suggestions are studied for the development of the bus assessment. A grid will be marked on the outer surface of front-endof the city buses in terms of vehicle preparation and marking. The determination of grid size and grid location should refer toreal-world accidents. Grid locations are defined based on anthropometric data. Testing conditions were identified by the realworld accidents in a preliminary study and also the Head Injury Criterion was adapted in the assessment. Moreover, chest and legzone test information should be combined to improve the rating scores in future work. |
