Abstract

Several similar real world pedestrian accidents are described and a number of different methods of reconstructing these accidents are reported. The results of full scale experimental reconstructions of two of the accidents using both dummies and cadavers as the pedestrian surrogate are presented. The effects on the pedestrian's head contact with the vehicle. of variations in the initial impact conditions are examined by computer simulation using the MADYMO two dimensional mathematical model.
