Abstract

A series of 10 full-scale experimental simulation of pedestrian-vehicle impact was carried out using cadavers and anthropometric dummies. The nine-accelerometer scheme was used to measure angular acceleration of body segments from which it was possible to compute the head injury criterion (HIC) for cadaver head impact. The HIC was higher for head-hood impact than for head-ground impact in two of the cases analyzed.
