• Description:
  This report presents extended bumber designs for 170-ton rear-dump haulage trucks used in the mining industry. The extended bumper designs are to provide operator protection in the event of rear-end collisions between two trucks. The bumper designs are a result of studying critical truck characteristics important in rear-end collisions and haulage truck accident data, as well as the dynamics of a collision. In addition, existing extended bumper designs were analyzed and evaluated. [Description provided by NIOSH]
