Abstract

The recent pedestrian accident data show the injury source for head changes from former ones. The head contact points to the vehicle and contact conditions are thought to be influenced by the vehicle front shape, its construction (rigidity) and pedestrian size. In this study, 32 simulation models are calculated and the full dummy, which HONDA has been developing, sled tests are conducted. The result shows that not only vehicle front shape but also its rigidity much influences the head contact point and the impact conditions are influenced by the pedestrian height. (A)
