Motorcycle-wall crash: simulation and validation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the development of the motorcycle (MC) model and validation using a MC – wall Full Scale Test (FST). Individual components like the seat, tires and shock absorbers were tested as per procedures given in ISO13232 [5] and their FE models were validated against the component test data. A crash test of the motorcycle with a rigid wall had been conducted. There is a reasonable match between wall forces in the FST and simulation.

Development of a Motorcycle FE Model for Simulating Impacts into Roadside Safety Barriers
Recent studies have identified roadside safety barriers as a cause of severe injuries and fatalities for motorcyclists. Roadside safety barrier have traditionally been designed with limited consideration for motorcyclist safety since the primary focus was on the safety of occupants of enclosed vehicles. Computer simulations of full-scale crashes between motorcyclists and road barriers would pro...
متن کاملAnalyzing Motorcycle Crash Pattern and Riders’ Fault Status at a National Level: A Case Study from Iran
Motorcycle crashes constitute a significant proportion of traffic accidents all over the world. The aim of this paper was to examine the motorcycle crash patterns and rider fault status across the provinces of Iran. For this purpose, 6638 motorcycle crashes occurred in Iran through 2009-2012 were used as the analysis data and a two-step clustering approach was adopted as the analysis framework....
متن کاملAn Investigation on Crash Worthiness of Different Vehicle Brands: A Case Study of Rollover Crashes
This study aimed at indexing crash worthiness capability of 20 most frequently used car brands in Iran. Since rollover crashes are one of the most important crash types due to their high impact on crash severity, they were chosen as the case study of the current research. In this regard, the data of 42,118 rollover crashes of urban and rural roads of Iran which occurred from 2009 to 2012 was us...
متن کاملMOTORCYCLE CRASH TEST CENTRE: A MOVEABLE BARRIER APPROACH C.L.Tan
Over recent years, researchers have used full-scale motorcycle crash tests in the field of road safety research to simulate different types of crash technique and scenario. This study focuses on the development of laboratory-based motorcycle crash tests. A moveable barrier, designated as a ‘trolley’ in this study, is designed, developed and implemented in a laboratory-based motorcycle crash tes...
متن کاملExperiment System of Motorcycle Impact Injury Using Electric Motor Traction
Although motorcycle crash is one of the most common causes of death and injury, there hasn’t been a standard experiment system to simulate the generation of the resulting motorcycle impact injuries. A unique motor drive unit (MDU) and motorcycle crash simulation unit (MCSU) were developed to establish a short-track and high-accuracy experiment system of motorcycle impact injury. The control har...
