The study addressed the optimisation of energy dissipation in bus rollovers using advanced simulation with ANSYS LS-DYNA; within this framework, the aim was to analyse the optimisation of energy dissipation in bus rollovers using LS-DYNA simulation. Using a systematic review approach, models were examined that incorporated optimised geometric design, high-absorption materials and strategic structural reinforcements. The results showed that these strategies increased energy dissipation and reduced damage to the passenger compartment, with experimental validations confirming the reliability of the models. Consequently, computational simulation established itself as a key tool for predictive design aimed at improving vehicle passive safety.
