TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Proposed four 1/4 turn metric to simulate rollover crashes JO - Proceedings: International Technical Conference on the Enhanced Safety of Vehicles A1 - Richardson, S.a. A1 - Grzebieta, Raphael H. A1 - Bellion, P. SP - 7 p. EP - 7 p. VL - 2001 IS - N2 - Rollovers are injurious crash events, causing a disproportionate amount of harm. Current rollover with metrics, Critical Sliding Velocity, Tilt Table Ratio, etc are based on turning a vehicle onto its side (one 1/4 turn). 1/4 turn rollovers account for 6.9% of Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) 3 to 6 injuries, whereas four 1/4 turn rollovers (one full revolution) account for 69.5% of AIS 3 to 6 injuries. This paper proposes a four 1/4 turn rollover metric based on vehicle geometry and mass.
