Samenvatting
In several European Countries, unprotected road users form a significant proportion of road accident casualties. The Research Institute for Road Vehicle TNO has started a long- term research program on pedestrian and cyclist safety. Up to now, 38 full- scale dummy tests with simulated vehicle fronts and real passenger cars were performed. Furthermore, 3d mathematical model simulations were conducted with the MADYMO crash victim simulation (CVS) package. A part of the program is presented in this paper.
