Improvements to highway safety are in continual demand. One of the most severe instances of vehicle collision occurs as a result of vehicle weight and sizing mismatch. The fitment of Underride Protection Devices (UPDs) on trucks and trailers is studied as a method to improve crash compatibility between passenger vehicles and trucks and/or trailers involved in head-on, rear end, or side highway crashes. While some countries require the use of UPDs, no such regulation exists in North America. North America’s use of Conventional Tractors also presents a variation to Cab-over Engine Tractors popular in Europe.
