Abstract

170 full scale pedestrian tests were performed (100 cadavers tests and 70 dummy tests). Especially head kinematic in relation with car impact speed (10 to 40km/h impact configuration (facing and side) and vehicle type were analysed. This analysis takes into consideration high speed films, head acceleration, injury distribution, and mechanical characteristics of car areas hit by the head. This paper includes results of head kinematics pointing out the effect of impact speed, vehicle front profile, and describes head injury typology of pedestrian hit by a passenger.
