Abstract

Today about 14 percent of passenger transport on the roads is accounted for by buses. For bus occupants, the risk of being killed as a results of a bus collision is about 40 times lower than in passenger car accidents. Therefore, buses can be classified as road vehicles with the most upgraded safety. Nonetheless there are some aspects of safety still to be developed in the future: Bus driver cockpits could be adequately improved at low cost.The anchorage of seats and the capacity of deformation energy of backrests can be exploited to incorporate an advanced restraint system.
