Abstract

This paper contains the results of 20 cadaver pedestrian tests in which the pedestrian is impacted by a car platform fitted with an adjustable bumper. It shows the effect of bumper height and impact speed on pedestrian leg kinematics, pedestrian leg injuries, and bumper /leg forces, and it includes a method for determining the equivalent mass of the leg during the impact.
