Abstract

This study documents results of impact tests with an instrumented dummy on different motorcycles, simulating intersection and frontal collisions, the most hazardous types. Analysis is focused on dummy kinematics, in regard to interaction with motorcycle (fuel tank, handle bar) and head impact on the car body.
