Abstract

The development of injury predictive models for pedestrian thoracic impact based on experimental data obtained in a previous study is presented.The data consists of ten cadaveric test subjects including eight side and two frontal impacts. A ten accelerometer array was mounted on the thorax and three types of parameters are developed to summarize each acceleration signal. Success of these parameters in predicting thoracic injury implies a relationship with frequency, particularly in the neighbourhood of 60 Hz.
