TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Closure and trim design for pedestrian impact JO - Proceedings: International Technical Conference on the Enhanced Safety of Vehicles A1 - Bosma, F. A1 - Gaalman, H. A. E.

VL - 2001 IS - N2 - To provide protection to pedestrians in collision with passenger vehicles, the design and construction of a vehicle's bumper, hood and fender panels must be addressed. TNO has undertaken a research project in conjunction with DSM to investigate how this may be done. Vehicle styling, packaging and an analysis led design process are shown for the front of the vehicle and in particular the hood and bumper. The recommendations of EEVC (European Enhanced Vehicle-safety Committee) working group 10 are used as a target to assess the design proposal's suitability.
