Abstract
Accidents between a passenger vehicle and a heavy weight vehicle (HWV) stand out
as one of the most dangerous ones. These often result in fatal injuries or the death
of the passengers, due to higher dimension and weight differences. One possible
accident situation is the underrunning of a smaller vehicle with the rear end of a
heavy truck. To avoid these types of accidents important parameters have to be
considered when designing the frame of the vehicles or the implementation of safety
equipment. Front, side and rear underrun protections (RUP) are all examples of
safety equipment that avoid the slippage of smaller vehicles beneath heavy truck
frames. In Europe, the legal requirements of these are all fixed in regulations imposed
by the United Nations Economic Commission of Europe (UNECE). Within the
framework of this work, we will specifically analyse the regulation number R58
(revision 2), which contains all technical specifications for RUPs and all steps to a
numerical ...
