2.2 Advanced Truck <strong>Concept</strong><br />

The advanced truck concept is shown in Fig. 2-4. It is based on the design elaborated in the<br />

“APROSYS” study. This design provides advantages regarding accidents with vulnerable<br />

road users (VRU). It has a deflective effect and can reduce the risk <strong>of</strong> overrunning VRUs in<br />

case <strong>of</strong> a frontal accident [APR09]. These aspects are not further investigated in this study.
