| Summary: | This paper is focused on improving the drivability of busses for preventing accidents. Bus accidents are not as frequent as car accidents but each bus accidents puts at least forty human lives in risk which is equivalent to
eight saloon cars with the maximum allowable passengers.
While there are many parts of the busses which can be
looked into for improving the safety this paper is focusing
on the steering systems. Nowadays, many automobile
manufacturers have integrated safety systems into the
steering systems for saloon cars and the results shown are
positive. They are proven to be effective as the
manufacturers have successfully commercialised their
technologies. Similarly, a framework will be developed to
implement steering system integrated with safety systems
for busses. The suggested framework will be focused on
overcoming a specific emergency scenario which bus drivers
will encounter most commonly. |
