Section : 7 Rollover Protection Page: 20 of 90

7 ROLLOVER PROTECTION (ROP) (ADCO & Contractors) Rollover protection can adversely affect other mandatory safety features and the overall safety of a vehicle. Therefore considerable care needs to be taken when installing this type of equipment to ensure that mandatory safety requirements are not contravened. The main injury and fatality modes in rollover crashes are:

a) Full or partial ejection.

b) Partial or full structural collapse.

c) Impact by occupant(s) with the hard internals of the vehicle. Light Vehicle ROP must:

a) Provide a survival space for all of the vehicle occupants.

b) Provide a restraint system, which secures the occupant in the vehicle.

c) Segregate vehicle occupants from any carried cargo. The application of ROP should be considered as part of a risk assessment for its actual need. Vehicles that are operating in an off - road environment should have ROP fitted. Caution is flagged against poorly manufactured and poorly fitted ROP structures as these have the potential to be over relied upon and have a the ability to escalate injuries rather than reduce as per its intention. For technical guidance on light vehicle ROP, Please see appendix 3

Rollover Protection Technical Specifications




19 Appendix 3

Rollover Protection Specification

Introduction Rollover Protection (ROP) can adversely affect other mandatory safety features and the overall safety of the vehicle. Therefore considerable care needs to be taken when installing this type of equipment to ensure that mandatory safety requirements are not contravened.

CPR-HSE-10/3







Background

The following are possible crash modes that a vehicle could experience:

i. Forward collision, either full frontal or offset into another vehicle or object (crash barrier or a pole).

ii. Side impact, either impacted by another vehicle or an object like a pole.

iii. Rear impact, such as being rear-ended or reversing into someone or something.

iv. Rollover. There are no effective passenger vehicle standards for rollover protection systems. A Rollover Protection solution must:

i. Provide a survival space for all the vehicle occupants.

ii. Provide a restraint system, which secures the occupant in the vehicle.

iii. Segregate vehicle occupants from any carried cargo.

CPR-HSE-10/3







Rollover Protection Considerations An internal ROP must be shaped and sized to fit as close as possible to the internal profile of the vehicle's occupant compartment. An external ROP should be no wider than the vehicle and extend no more than 250mm above the roofline of the vehicle. The advantage of an external ROP is that it creates a larger survival space for the vehicle occupants. The installation of the ROP may overlap the sight lines of the vehicle; specific care should be taken around the vehicle “A” pillar. The ROP must not significantly increase the obstructions to the driver's vision nor obstruct the driver in his full and proper control of the vehicle. The ROP must not have any projections, corners or edges likely to cause injury to any vehicle occupant. Joints in the structure must not be likely to fail under crash loads, which would expose sharp or dangerous edges or projections to the vehicle occupants. [Note: Ideally, the vehicle manufacturer should incorporate the ROP features in the original vehicle design. The ROP may not always come in the form of a “headache rack” or “roll bar”. Rollover Protection may be accomplished by selecting and purchasing vehicles with a specific set of safety features (e.g. roof reinforcement, side curtain air bags, stability control features, etc.) that may preclude the necessity of installation of after-market components. However, in situations where terrain and/or vehicle type provide substantial exposure to a potential rollover, an after-market device, internal, external or combined, must be installed.

Seatbelts Seatbelt and seat anchorages, installed as original equipment by the vehicle manufacturer, must not be used for attaching the ROP. All of the vehicle's original seatbelts should be retained unaltered and the ROP installation must not interfere with their operation in any way. The ROP must not interfere with the normal functioning of any standard or mandatory equipment such as seatbelts, seats and head restraints. If the ROP installation encroaches into the occupant space for rear seat passengers, the rear seats and seat belts should be removed from the vehicle.

Head Space Requirements No components of the ROP installation may project into the headspace zone for either driver or passengers. The arcs with angles, centers and radii shown in figure 1 form this headspace zone.

i. These headspace requirements apply to all seating positions and are based on a 835mm head safety radius.

CPR-HSE-10/3







ii. If the rear braces of the ROP structure design lie within the headspace for any rear seat passenger then the rear seat is to be removed.

iii. The centre of radius is determined using an ellipse 200 x 130mm, placed on the centre line of the seating position.

iv. Measurements are made from point "G" on the disc with contact point "O" against the seat back, as shown in figure 2. Point "G" is 125mm forward of point "O" and 35mm below the 200mm long axis of the ellipse.

v. Forward Front seat headspace limits are determined with the seat in its foremost position. The headspace zone is limited by, the windscreen or a projection 35 forward from the vertical.

vi. Rearward Front seat headspace limits are determined with the seat in its rearmost position. The headspace zone is limited by a 25 rearward projection from the vertical.

vii. Rear seat headspace limits are determined by, a 35 forward and a 25 rearward projection from the vertical.

viii. If a seat back angle is adjustable, it shall be set at no more than 25 degrees rearward of the vertical.

ix. If a seat is height adjustable, it shall be set at the lowest position.

x. A 15 zone, of the vertical, defines the lateral headspace limits. Original vehicle components that intrude into the headspace are not covered by these requirements.

Drive ADCO Vehicles Safely Appraisal




Flat 6mm is the minimum thickness Flat to be used for a ROP. The Flat is to have a minimum yield stress of 350MPa. The recommended Flat product is Onesteel’s Dura Gal Flat C350LO, either:

i. 100 x 6mm,

ii. 130 x 6mm and

iii. 150 x 6mm Welding

All Welding shall be full penetration welds in accordance with:

i. Australian Standard AS1554-1 Structural Steel Welding or

ii. European Standard EN 1708 Welding basic: Welded joints in steel or

iii. American National Standards Institute and American Welding Society D1.6 Structural Welding code for stainless steel.

Nuts and Bolts Grade 8.8 is the minimum grade nut and bolt to be used on ROP. M12 is the minimum size nut and bolt to be used on the ROP.

Mounting Plates The ROP must be securely attached to the load bearing parts of the vehicle's structure by sandwiching the vehicle structure between 2 mounting plates. The top mounting plate is to be attached to the ROP while the lower mounting plate is typically located under the vehicle.

i. The mounting plates must be steel and must have a minimum thickness of 6mm. The size of the plate is to be at least 2 times the width and 3 times the minimum cross sectional dimension of the Tube, Square or Rectangular Hollow Section that is being attached to the mounting plate, such as:

ii. For 48.3mm tube or 50 x 50 Square Hollow Section the mounting plate will be a minimum of 100 x 150mm.

iii. For 76.1mm tube or 75 x 75 Square Hollow Section the mounting plate will be a minimum of 150 x 225mm.

iv. For 75 x 50 Rectangular Hollow Section the mounting plate will be a minimum of 225 x 100mm.

v. The corners of the mounting plates are to have a minimum radius of 25mm.

vi. A minimum of 3 nuts and bolts is to be used to sandwich the vehicle structure between the mounting plates.

vii. A minimum of 2 stiffening webs, are to be used between the Tube, Square or Rectangular Hollow Section and the top mounting plate, as illustrated in figure 3. The webs shall be made from 6mm steel. The hypotenuse of the web is to be at least 1.5 times the diameter or smallest cross section

CPR-HSE-10/3







dimension of the Square or Rectangular Hollow Section. For a 48.3 tube the web hypotenuse would be grater than 73mm.

Figure 3. Top mounting plate and webs for Tube Where either a bolt or multiple bolts pass through a hollow in the vehicle structure, the structure must be reinforced to prevent its collapse under bolt tightening loads. A tube is to be attached to the lower mounting plate. The tube will be 350MPa steel. The tube is to have an inner diameter 2mm greater than the bolt diameter. The tube will have a cross sectional area at least 150% of the bolt. The ROP must not be simply attached to floor pans or other panels. Mounting plates are not to be welded to the frame or other integral members of the vehicle chassis. Attachment may only be made by sandwiching, or by clamping using only existing holes provided during manufacture.

Fabrication of the ROP Continual lengths of Tube, Square or Rectangular Hollow Section shall be used. All welded joints are to be profiled so that the branch mates with the trunk. (Branches are not to be squashed or flattened unless a complete RDMD test has been conducted in accordance with Appendix A and compliance has been demonstrated).

CPR-HSE-10/3







Bolted joints are permissible if they are stronger in tension, compression and bending than the Tube, Square or Rectangular Hollow Section that is being joined together. A bolted joint is to be designed so that a “fuse” is not formed. A fuse is a joint that, under loading would distort and then break before the Tube, Square or Rectangular Hollow Section. Bends shall be smooth and continuous. Bends will show no evidence of crimping, necking, wall failure, distortion or section weakening. Diagonal bracing should not have bends.

Padding For internal ROP’s the upper sections must be fully protected by a 20mm minimum thickness of 55kg/m3 PolysTirene foam or equivalent. The PolysTirene should be protected either by tape or heat shrink. Padding is only required on the faces that could be impacted by the vehicle occupants, padding is not required on the outer faces of the internal ROP.

Labels The ROP should be labelled with the following; This Rollover Protection Device is not to be drilled, welded or modified without approval from a qualified Engineer.

Evaluation A Consulting Engineer with experience in the design and development of crashworthiness system should conduct at least two evaluations of the ROP prior to its deployment for use. The first is an interim inspection arranged for a desktop assessment of the ROP drawings. The final evaluation is to be carried out on successful completion of the installation and incorporates a vehicle inspection.

SUGGESTED APPROACHES The following images illustrate concepts for light vehicles: Headache Rack for pickup.

External ROP for pickup and dual cab.

Internal ROP for Sports Utility Vehicle. Headache Rack

The Headache Rack is not a recommended solution for light vehicles because when a light vehicle rolls it initially tumbles and then rolls sideways. A Headache rack is an acceptable option for heavy vehicles because when a heavy vehicle rolls it is normally on to its side or roof. The tumbling action exposes the front “A” pillar and possibly allows it to collapse into the vehicle occupant’s survival space. In a dual cab vehicle the collapse may extend to both front “A” and “B” pillars However if a Headache Rack is to be fitted to a Pickup it should be in accordance with figure 4.

CPR-HSE-10/3







Figure 4. Pickup Headache Rack Desirably the ROP is attached directly to the frame or a 2-3mm tube should be fitted to the tray of the pickup and bolted to the coming of the tray. (At least 12 bolts should be used to secure the tub to the tray, alternatively the tube can be stitch welded to the tray). The shape of the tub is to follow the basic internal shape of the Pickup tray. An alternative is to sandwich the ROP attachment to the tray to effectively prevent the bolts from pulling through the tray and/or prevent the ROP from punching down through the tray, and then reinforce the attachment of the tray to the chassis/frame. The Headache Rack should:

Be diagonally braced, both laterally and longitudinally.

Laterally extend to the width of the vehicle.

Be 250mm above the cabin roof. Headache Racks should not be used for Dual Cab vehicles.

External ROP The advantage of an external ROP is that the valuable internal vehicle cabin space is not used. Figures 5, 6, and 7 illustrate external ROP for Pickups. [Note that the structural tubes should extend into the tray of the pick up and not be attached to the coaming (upper edge of the tray).]

CPR-HSE-10/3







Figure 5. Pickup – Regular, Extended or Dual Cab external ROP (of appropriate dimension)

CPR-HSE-10/3







Figure 6B. Dual Cab external ROP

Figure 7A. Extended Cab external ROP The extension over the drivers cab should extend a minimum a 300mm. Desirably the ROP is attached directly to the frame or a 2-3mm tub should be fitted to the tray of the pickup and bolted to the coming of the tray. (At least 12 bolts should be used to secure the tub to the tray, alternatively the tub can be stich welded to the tray). The shape of the tub is to follow the basic internal shape of the Pickup tray. An alternative is to sandwich the ROP attachment to the tray to effectively prevent the bolts from pulling through the tray and/or prevent the ROP from punching down through the tray, and then reinforce the attachment of the tray to the chassis/frame. An external ROP is very problematic to install on a Sports Utility style vehicle as it lacks multiple compression attachment points. However analysis on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis could result in a design being developed.

Internal ROP An internal ROP can be designed to meet the requirements for Sports Utility Vehicles like the Toyota Landcruiser figure 8. An internal ROP can also be fitted to a Pickup and Dual Cab (figures 9 and 10) if operational considerations prevent the installation of an external system. If an internal ROP is used padding and attention to detail joint design will be necessary.

SUMMARY In all instances where Rollover Protection Devices are assessed as being required to minimize the impact of rollover related incidents vehicle manufacturers able to provide suitable protection should be used. The design and installation of all custom ROP is to be approved by a Consulting Engineer with experience and/or expertise in the design and development of crashworthiness systems.
