Abstract

A method for automating the selection of front-end structural stiffness for barrier impact standards is presented. An improved impact simulation model which calculates the steering column envelopment is introduced. To express the effect of passenger compartment deceleration on potential injury, a vehicle crash severity index is introduced.
