Samenvatting

In a joint research programme Chalmers University (Sweden) and INRETS (France) developed a round symmetrical pedestrian dummy. This dummy has a full instrumented leg in order to measure knee deformations as well as shearing force and bending movement at knee level. Even if the new methods for pedestrian protection evaluation are not based on a full scale test with a dummy, a subsystem approach needs to use a mechanical leg model to predict the risk of leg injuries for a pedestrian. In this work the behaviour of the leg of the Round Symmetrical Pedestrian Dummy (RSPD) is evaluated, as well its repeatability as its capability to predict pedestrian leg injuries.
