Abstract

Along with the recent increase in traffic volume of vehicles, accidents involving rollover of vehicles have been rapidly increased, resulting in an increase casualties. And to prevent this, various technologies such as vehicle crash test equipment and analysis program development have been advanced. In this study, the applied vehicle model is FORD EXPLORER model, and PC-Crash program for vehicle collision analysis is used to predict the rollover accident behavior of SUV and the collision velocity. Compared with the actual rollover behavior of SUV through the FMVSS No 208 regulations, the analysis results showed similar results, the characteristics of the collision velocity and roll angle showed a tendency that the error rate slightly increased after 1000 msec. Then, as a result of considering using the database of NHTSA, it is shown that the rollover accident occur most frequently in the range of the collision velocity of 15~77 km/h and the collision angle of $22{\sim}74^{\circ}$. And it is possible to estimate the vehicle speed and collision time when the vehicle roof is broken by reconstructing the vehicle starting position, the roof failure position and the stop position by applying the actual accident case.

최근 자동차 교통량의 증가로 인해 차량 전복사고가 급증하여 이에 따른 인명피해가 증가해왔으며, 이를 방지하기 위한 차량충돌 실험장비 및 해석프로그램 개발 등의 다양한 기술이 진보되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 적용한 차량모델은 미국 FORD사의 EXPLORER 차종이고, Rollover 해석은 차량충돌해석에 상용되고 있는 PC-Crash 프로그램을 이용하여 SUV의 전복사고 거동 및 충돌속도를 예측하였다. 그 해석결과로 FMVSS No. 208 법규를 통한 SUV차량의 실제 Rollover 거동과 비교할 때 유사한 결과를 보여주었으며, 충돌속도 및 롤각의 특성은 1000 msec 이후부터는 다소 오차율이 커지는 경향을 나타냈다. 그리고 NHTSA의 데이터베이스를 활용하여 고찰한 결과로 충돌속도 15~77 km/h, 충돌각도 $22{\sim}74^{\circ}$ 범위에서 전복사고가 가장 많이 발생함을 나타냈고, 실제 사고사례를 적용함으로써 차량 출발 위치, Roof 파손위치, 정지위치를 재현시켜 차량 Roof가 파손될 때 차량속도 및 충돌시간을 예측할 수 있었다.
