Abstract

A benefit cost study concerning the pay off of bumper protection is presented. The analysis provides approximate design guide lines, suggesting a maximum break-even bumper design speed of between 6 and 9 m.p.h. The optimum design speed for bumper systems to protect current automobiles is near 5 m.p.h.
