Abstract

Pedestrian motions are analyzed with seven degrees of freedom, by modeling vehicle-to-man collision. An equation of motion of the pedestrian is derived, considering characteristics of human body joints, spring characteristics of vehicle front end, friction force at the vehicle's front, spring characteristics and friction coefficient at the contact points of road surface. (See also B 861).
