Vehicle profile optimization using central composite design for pedestrian injury mitigation

Pedestrian injury poses a significant problem throughout the world. Pedestrians contribute to the second largest category of motor vehicle deaths accounting for about 13% of fatalities, after occupant injuries. Therefore is vital to design pedestrian friendly vehicles to mitigate injuries and fata...
