This study deals with the passive safety of personal car and van vehicles with the respect to pedestrian collision. The experimental and mathematical methods are used. Based on the executed experiment, there are created some mathematical models in commercial software packages. The computer simulations ran on the commercial software packages. There was performed a sensitivity analysis and biomechanical criteria of injuries were evaluated. The optimisation process is focused on the shape of the front part of the vehicle. Biomechanical assessment is included with respect to the traumatological evaluation of road accidents. For the covering abstract see ITRD E141807.
