Abstract: The purpose of this work is to provide a foundation concerning recent and relevant literature relating to the design and evaluation of front underride protection devices (FUPDs). Current international regulations are discussed, as well as imposed designs as a result of regulation. A number of theoretical works are also objectively scanned to provide an overview of improvement possibilities investigated by others. Suggestions for testing and performance evaluation based on NCHRP standards are analysed for FUPD application significance.
