Summary:

Improved vehicle safety and increased vehicle weight are closely related and critical parameters. The capability of analytically relating vehicle crashworthiness and weight variation is necessary in order to apply a systems engineering approach to the overall vehicle weight problem. This has been accomplished at AMF by the development and use of an on-line user-oriented computer program to obtain vehicle weight as a function of crashworthiness parameter variation.The results of a crashworthiness-weight tradeoff study performed for an optimized experimental safety vehicle (ESV) design are reported in this paper. The analytical model and computer program are presented and discussed
