Abstract

Laboratory experiments were conducted to establish baseline data on pedestrian head impacts onto the hood and fenders of production vehicles. Various vehicles from subcompact to fullsize were tested using a headform imfactor. Significant benefits could be realized in reducing adult pedestrian head injury severity by increasing the clearance between the hood and engine to 2-3 inches.
