Abstract

The possibility of utilizing shock absorbers to decrease the aggressivity of a large car towards a small car at an impact of 40 mph is presented. Reduction of such an aggressivity would result in more damage to the large car, thereby reducing the impact on the small car. The conclusions demonstrate a definite decreased aggressivity of the larger car.
