Relationships Between Fatality Risk, Mass, and Footprint in Model Year 2000-2007 Passenger Cars and Ltvs ? Final Report (Nhtsa Technical Report Dot Hs 811 665)
Dr. Charles J. Kahane
Mass reduction while holding a vehicle?s footprint (size) constant is a potential strategy for meeting footprint-based CAFE and GHG standards. An important corollary issue is the possible effect of mass reduction that maintains footprint on fatal crashes. One way to estimate these effects is statistical analyses of societal fatality rates per VMT, by vehicles? mass and footprint, for the current on-road vehicle fleet. Societal fatality rates include occupants of all vehicles in the crash as well as pedestrians. The analyses comprised MY 2000-2007 cars and LTVs in CY 2002-2008 crashes.
