Based on the existing experimental data of elastic scattering angular distributions and nonelastic cross sections (i.e., total reaction cross sections) for incident deuteron, by using the modified code APMN, we obtain a new optimal set of global deuteron optical potential parameters, which can fit (or reproduce) the experimental data very well for almost all target nuclei ranging from ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}$ to ${}^{238}\mathrm{U}$ in the energy region below 183 MeV.
