The presented research work aims at including partner protection more comprehensively and concentrates on developing the fundamentals of a methodology to design vehicles with optimised compatibility for a real life accident environment. Using fleet compatibility as objective function, a vehicle can be structurally optimized to achieve minimal overall injury severity. A structural optimization with the objective function fleet compatibility of the subject vehicle is run. Crash simulations between the subject vehicle and all its crash partners were undertaken, the results evaluated, parameters adjusted, and run again until a termination criterion is met. Simultaneously, the robustness of the design settings was also defined as an object function, in order to ensure that the optimized design has not only a good system performance but also a high robustness against uncontrollable deviations of design variables.
