Minimization of occupant injury by optimum front-end design. La diminution des fatalités des occupants d'une automobile par une modification idéale du front. Minimierung der Besitzerverletzung durch optimalen Wagenvorderentwurf.

The objective of this research is the optimization of vehicle deceleration to minimize serious injury to and fatalities among harnessed occupants. Using statistical data available from many sources, an empirical equation has been derived to show the savings in fatalities that would result from using the optimized design.
