N2 - the bullet vehicle on injury outcome in the target vehicle. The variables that were considered and studied in the bullet vehicle included Average Height of Force (AHOF), crush-zone stiffness, vehicle type, and vehicle weight. As with previous research, a data-mining analysis of 107,000 collisions finds that an increase in the striking vehicle weight has the largest correlation with higher serious/fatal injuries. Unlike previous research which focused on crush-zone stiffness, this research finds that the second most important explanatory variable is AHOF, with a higher AHOF associated with higher injury risk.
