Abstract

Collisions between a car a two-wheeled vehicle involve a risk of impact between the head and the vehicle which is higher in fronto-frontal collisions than in fronto-lateral collisions. In conjunction with the high impact frequency of the lower limbs of the pedestrian and the two-wheeled vehicle rider against the front of the car, it is suggested that common benefit could be derived from possible modifications to the car.
