Experimental Study on Transportation Safety of Package in Side Collision of Heavy Duty Truck

The accidents in road transportation of package may be collision ,fall and fire. It is necessary to examine all cases very carefully because collision light be caused by other vehicle. Collisions are classified into head-on collision , rear-end collision , side collision. A lot of experiments and analyses are reported on head-on collision , so the behavior of vehicle and package 1ay be predicted without difficulty.Rear-end collisions bring about less i1pact and 1ay be applied corresponding to the head-on collisions. About side collisions, few experi1ents or analyses are reported, and most of the1 are about passenger cars not about trucks. So it beco1es i1portant to study the transportation safety of package carried on a heavy duty truck when hit on the side by another truck siailar in size.
