Abstract

Impacts of bumpers, on the legs of pedestrians are analysed by simulating accidents using comprehensively instrumented adult and child dummies with free-standing ability. An investigation into the effect of bumper height, bumper position relative to the vehicle front-end and bumper design on the forces and bending moments generated in the legs of adult and child pedestrian mummies, is described.
