SIMULATIONS OF BUS-SEAT IMPACT TESTS ACCORDING TO ECE REGULATIONS

This paper deals with bus passenger seat and seat anchorage strength according to the official ECE Regulation 80 and partly to the ECE R14. The regulations are based on a standardized real accident situation. In spite of this, the requirements don't follow the new demands, eg the compulsory usage of seat belts. AUTOKUT Hungary has just started a new project to develop a new alternative method for testing bus seat and seat anchorage strength. (A) For the covering abstract see IRRD E102514.
