Samenvatting
A tridisciplinary team was created, by associating the safety group of an automobile manufacturer, a biomechanical team from a research laboratory and a research team from a medical faculty. The experimental study makes possible the analysis of the kinematics of the pedestrian during impact, as well as the means of diminishing the aggressiveness of the form or the design of the front sections of the vehicles. The experiment is carried out by using anthropometric dummies and anatomical subjects, and is reinforced by mathematical models.
