Compartmentalizaiton is a passive occupant protection strategy unique to school buses. Student riders are surrounded by a compartment of energey absorbing material — 4″ thick foam seats, seat frames that bend to absorb crash forcesa, and a vehicle designed to absorb energy. The idea is the crash forces will be dissipated or absorbed before they get to the student passengers.
