Abstract

A test procedure is described in which a dummy and a sled impact tester are used to simulate vehicle- pedestrian accidents for the purpose of investigating pedestrian protection. In the series of tests conducted, the bumper height, hood- edge height, bumper lead, front- end compliance of the vehicle, impact velocity, and other factors were varied in an effort to clarify to what extent modifica- tions to the vehicle front end would contribute to enhanced pedestrian protection.
