Abstract

Data from an in-depth at-the- scene study of pedstrian accidents have been used in conjunction with data obtained from a study using existing police and hospital records to examine the influence of exterior car design, k impact speed and pedestrian age on pedestrian injuries. The causes of pedestrian injury are identified and it is shown that the severity of pedestrian injuries can be reduced by appropriate design of the car exterior.
