:
: The authors have no relevant financial or non-financial interests to disclose.
: The findings within this manuscript can be categorised into two sections: the topology optimisation algorithm detailed in the methodology section, and the investigation into coach crashworthiness outlined in the results section. These results are reproducible through the implementation of the optimised structure model and simulated process as described in this paper. The data generated from the results and the developed MATLAB code are available upon request.
