Abstract

The paper presents an analytical methodology for studying a class of cycle-to-vehicle collisions and reports on a successful full-scale impact test utilizing a modified crash test dummy for the motorcycle rider. The laws of mechanics are applied in a straight-forward manner to predict the dynamics of a motorcycle oblique (glancing) impact to the front of a flat-faced car.
