Besides, it will allow to result in optimum value height of bus rollover with different dimensions. It is necessary to get more reliable information of body structure strength. For this purpose in procedure of tests it is suggested to enter the additional stage of calculation of the height of rollover before setting of transport vehicle on a rollover platform.

Keywords: The bus, safety of bus construction, strength, deformation, a centre of mass.
