Abstract	Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University-Florida State University (FAMU-FSU) is performing numerical simulations of paratransit bus rollover accident on TRACC’s cluster computer in conjunction with experimental rollover tests at FAMU/FSU. FAMU/FSU is developing finite element (FE) models for paratransit buses. The original FE model [1] of the bus was developed in the two separate stages First, a model of a cutaway chassis was extracted from a public domain Ford Econoline Van FE model, developed by the National Crash Analysis Center (NCAC) at George Washington University [2] The FE model was modified to match specifications of the chassis used for the given paratransit bus – from the van E-150 to the heavy duty E-450. Major changes have been made to the main chassis beams and suspension elements. During the second stage of FE model development, the 3D geometry and FE models of separate bus body walls (side walls, back wall, roof and floor) were created from CAD drawings supplied by the bus manufacturer. Finally the bus body cage was assembled with the chassis using LS-PrePost [3].
