Abstract

For the purpose of pedestrian-car accident simulation, a body force measuring test trolley has been developed and described. This permits changing various car front parameters and analyzing their influence on the impact performance. Leg injury criteria, derived from the results of earlier cadaver tests, are discussed allowing the assessment of the pedestrian's primary injuries and their severity through the measurement of reaction forces on the vehicle body.
