Influencia de la estructura de los asientos en la bisagra plástica por colisiones de vuelco de autobuses interprovinciales según el procedimiento de las CEPE R66, por medio de simulación computacional empleando software CAE

Abstract

In the present investigation, the influence of the different seat structures regarding the superstructure of a bus is analyzed, the process that is carried out is the design of the bus superstructure through the Ecuadorian technical standard NTE INEN 1668- Transport Vehicles intraregional, interprovincial and intraprovincial passenger public. For modeling the structure of the seats, data was collected from different seat manufacturing companies, which are of a confidential nature, respectively, the configurations that each of these have. In the assembly stage of the structure of the seats to the superstructure of the bus, the different location parameters that must be applied, such as the distance between seats, the separation with respect to the aisle, among others that are found in the Ecuadorian technical standard, were taken as a reference. NTE INEN 1668-Intraregional, interprovincial and intraprovincial public passenger transport vehicles. As a result of the investigation, it is concluded that the two models of seat structures jointly assembled to the bus superstructure, the weight that it has when assembled is considerable, it also focuses on the resistance that the plinth has when the seat structures are bolted. As a general result, it is concluded that the three designs presented in the study comply with the CEPE R66 standard of the Economic Commission for Europe by not invading the survival zone.
