Abstract

The pedestrian injury causation study is used to investigate the relations between car weight and pedestrian injuries in frontal accidents. As car curb weight decreased large changes in overall severity are not observed, although the proportion of head injuries increases. Since contacts of the windshield area are more common in smaller cars, they are studied in detail.
