Abstract

A study was undertaken to assess the crash types, behaviour and injuries associated with vehicle and pedestrian crashes and the priorities for vehicle design optimisation based on reduced societal harm. Data from the Australian fatal file and the University of Hanover were analysed for the types of pedestrian crashes with cars, pre-crash pedestrian behaviours, injuries sustained and contact sources of these injuries. The harm associated with these outcomes was then ranked to provide priorities for vehicle design aimed at increased pedestrian protection. For the covering abstract see ITRD E141807.
