Abstract

This paper investigates correlation between throwing distance and impact speed / point of impact for bicycle-car front-to-side crash. Crashes between a bicycle and a car were simulated using multi body models developed inMADYMO. The Hybrid III 50th percentile male dummy model, available from MADYMO library has been used. Crash configurations reported in literature have been used and parametric variations have been done in speed, and pointof impact. It is observed that only some configurations show a monotonic dependence of the throwing distance on the car speed. For the covering abstract see ITRD E141569.
