Abstract
The statistical data show that almost 50% of traffic accidents were due to car-to-car collisions. In the case, the size, weight and stiffness of crash opponent are various. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the safety vehicles for car-to-car accidents by considering all conditions such as the speed, offset rate and crashing angle of the collision. The purpose of this study is to establish a design method that considers several conditions of the car-to-car collision and enables designers to carry out the design of the reinforced members to control the collision pulse and the changes of the absorbed energy.
