The article proposes a method for determining the total impact energy and the deformation of the bus body in case of rollover. This method takes into account the deviation of the coordinates of the center of gravity. Developed adjusted formula for calculating the height of the fall of the center of gravity and total impact energy. Conducted experimental calculations based on which made suggestions for optimization of systems passive safety.

Keywords: bus, passive safety, center of gravity, total impact energy, body deformation, critical load
