Abstract
This paper examines the efforts of European car manufacturers and suppliers to seek solutions to meets pedestrian safety requirements set forth by the European Union (EU) that all member countries must meet starting in July 2005. To fulfill these requirements, numerous active and passive concepts are investigated in addition to many other limitations imposed on the front end of the car, all of which deal with energy absorption. The paper introduces an approach to achieving a passive solution for the development of a "virtual Stiffness Profile" to help identify the optimum balance of engineering and styling to meet the EU requirements.
