  • A full-overlap frontal crash test of a 1999 MCI D-series bus, this test analyzes the potential of injuries using two different types of seats as well as the mounting location of the seats. The two types of seats that are tested are standard Euro-style seats and SafeGuard Premier seats. The bus weighs 44,250 lbs (20072 kg), traveling into a solid wall at 34.7 Mph (55.84 Km/h).
    Kinetic Energy: 1.8 million ft/lbs.
    Dummy reading limits based upon 5th percentile female occupants. 50th and 95th percentile occupants have slightly higher thresholds for Chest Deflection (63 mm) and Femur Loads (10005 N).

      It's not up to you all the time. Some other vehicle causes you to lose control. Maybe a tire failure at the same time that the road is very curved and you slide off. Black ice. Heart attack. Defective gas pedal. Passengers distract the driver. Or they start a fight on the bus.

    I have been at the scene of an accident where a double deck bus hit a bridge at around 100 km/h. It wasn't full frontal, but impact was enough to cause absolute chaos. As i was passing by driving my own bus, i happened to be the first at the scene and i immediately started calling emergency services and tried to remember my first aid lessons the best i could. I was so focused i never even heard all the equipment arriving at the scene and after three hours , in which my bus was used to shelter the passengers from the crashed bus, i continued for the rest of the 450km i still had to drive that day. I saw stuff that still haunts me. Wear those seatbelts people. Please.

      Even 50kmh with no seat belt is very fast as the crumple zone is your bones, or your skull stuff like that.
      Now accidents only happen occasionally, but is that a reason to ignore safety all to get her, because accidents rarely happen? (not saying you are saying that last part, but a lot of people do say/ think like that).
      And the worst part is that travelling by bus isn't even cheap, at times way more expensive that with car and they take about 5 times-6 times longer too. What is a 5 minute ride in a car is a 30 minute drive with the bus costing you like 10 bucks by now probably. When I still used it it was around 5-6 bucks, and that was about 6 years ago when everything was massively cheaper.

      I have driven this year of bus and even if you are hitting a pickup truck or moose can trap you behind the wheel. Newer buses are better than older busses in this respect, but there is only so much you can do when slowing 18 tonnes to 0. Greyhound Canada had a plaque on one of there buses in memorial to a driver that was pinned in a burning bus from a suicidal driver in an oncoming pickup truck. Managed to direct passengers to safety despite this.

      The bus weighs 20 tonnes, was going at 35mph, and crashed into a completely solid wall. That's more less the equivalent of the bus hitting front-to-front another bus going at the same speed with the same weight.
      In real life, such a scenario would not be common, but naturally with plenty of trucks and buses out there it could occur.

    They could make a telescopic frontal crash-zone. On board on a ferry, or driving very low-speed in narrow city streets, it could be withdrawn, saving space. Higher speed driving on country roads, it could be extended fully, giving a calculated controlled deceleration in case of an accident.

      Maybe more like the crash zone that functions like an airbag, although a decision needs to be made when to deploy it. That could also mean it needs a breakaway lighting system marking the airbag zone. We don't want to increase crashes by being a bigger target. It can risk pedestrians.

    @margiemouse1660 10 месяцев назад +5

    Avilenino24 is missing something really important here. 1) the D model is based on structure designs dating back to the 60's. It was outdated when the C (its near predecessor) arrived in the late 80's. 2) This test is also on a 20 or more year old bus with a lot of fatigue and corrosion. Steel in the front spare tire and suspension area as well as the sash pillars is a real problem on these old girls. You can hide it with paint but not when you do this.
    When they were new they stood up pretty well as I had one come in from a light head on with a car to be checked and repaired (light meaning each going 30 or so mph ) (the door and other parts of the car were in the baggage bin - it didn't fare well) but we measured it out and it had sprung back, checked welds etc. even the energy absorbing bumper was Okay - the only damage was a cracked windshield from the flex and we readjusted the latch for the front bumper (the bumper folds down to access the spare tire). It wouldn't do that 20 years later. Age and structural maintenance is a huge issue and one that makes crashes way worse than they could have been, but it it overlooked and very expensive when it is done.
    The other thing to note is the C's, D's and DL's etc. have been pretty much superseded. The E, F, G and J models that are of entirely new design (1998 I think) and construction of these is completely of stainless steel. They don't degrade over time, they also show almost zero fatigue even when 15 years old. A quantum leap over the C's and "Ds. From my experience of crash resistance the E-J's are the best busses built today and they stand up the same if they are one or 20 years old. You mention Prevost and Setra and these busses are not great either, you never want to roll a Prevost H model - terrible. These manufacturers still use a lot of steel (cost cutting) which In my opinion is not a good choice for a vehicle on the road for 20 or 25 years and so many miles. I guess what I need to say is when you get on a 10 or the 20 plus year old bus in the test it doesn't matter what safety standard it passed back years ago. it's what is under your seat now that is more important.

    In July of 2010 a Greyhound bus collided with an overturned SUV in Fresno, California, that killed 6 people, including the 3 in the SUV. It was caused by the driver of the SUV. an intoxicated minor, striking the center divider and rolling her vehicle. Two minutes later the MCI bus struck the SUV, careened off the side of an exit ramp and flipped in its side, killing 3 occupants of the bus, including the driver. Seeing pictures of the bus from the news reports it had similar damage to this one, maybe a little less impact but the collision was at highway speed and not against an immovable object.

Cant hit something stationary and double the speed, but also hit something going equal and opposite and still only add their speeds, right?
      Cant be a wall at 35 = 70, while at the same time a two busses at 35 still = 70.

      yeah this is a good arguement to make those type of busses, and seatbelts would also be great. the ones in the netherlands dont have them, probably even less safe than this bus in any regard. you're lucky if you can even hold onto anything when traveling by bus, most of the time youll just stand in the middle with a everyone else not even being able to hold onto anything. Really surprised its even allowed tbh, same with trains pretty strange how they dont have seatbelts either considering the speeds they travel at and how much that simple thing would reduce injury in case of a crash.

    • @aluminumandcopper9840
      @aluminumandcopper9840 Год назад +2

      When buses crash, it's higher up than many other vehicles. It's better not to crash in the first place.
      Some suggestions include installing collision avoidance systems, and blind-spot cameras, upgrading turn signals to function as daytime running lights, and putting front side-marker lights as close to the front as possible.
      When vehicles are more visible, it improves reaction times. The sooner one brakes, the slower the collision speed should it happen, which makes a difference. The savings from avoiding fender benders would likely make it worth the cost of certain upgrades. Avoiding out-of-pocket hospital bills would mean saving tens of thousands of dollars.

However, in the real world, with all 48 seats (12 rows, 4 seats each) filled, there would be at least 13 fatalities from the driver and first 3 rows being destroyed, and probably more.
