Abstract

The paper deals with the development and the design of a car front which corresponds to human tolerance levels in car pedestrian collisions up to an impact velocity of 40 km/h. At higher velocities less severe injuries are to be expected than with current car fronts. The presented pedestrian-activated displaceable hood seems to be a suitable solution to reduce significantly the severity of injuries in car/pedestrian collisions. There is no severe is needed for energy absorbing components.
