Objective: This study aimed at investigating the effects of vehicle impact velocity, vehicle
front-end shape, and pedestrian size on injury risk to pedestrians in collisions with …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of various head injury criteria and
associated risk functions in prediction of vulnerable road users (VRUs) severe head injuries …

The aim of this study was to aid the optimisation of future, vehicle based, pedestrian injury
countermeasures. The German In-Depth Accident Study (GIDAS) database was queried for …

Pedestrian injuries occur in both the primary vehicle contact and the subsequent ground
contact. Currently, no ground contact countermeasures have been implemented and no …

Introduction Due to the diversity of pedestrian-to-ground impact (secondary impact)
mechanisms, secondary impacts always result in more unpredictable injuries as compared …

Computational biomechanics models play a key role in predicting/evaluating pedestrian
head kinematics and injury risk in car-to-pedestrian collisions. The human multibody models …

In road traffic collisions, pedestrian injuries and fatalities account for approximately 11% and
20% of casualties in the USA and the EU, respectively. In many less motorised countries, the …

Multibody simulations of pedestrian impact scenarios as well as pedestrian accident
reconstructions have been used and improved through the years to enhance the pedestrian …

Evidence for the effectiveness of cycle helmets has relied either on simplified experiments or
complex statistical analysis of patient cohorts or populations. This study directly assesses …

A validated pedestrian multibody model was used to investigate the influences of impact
speed and vehicle front structure on the pedestrian dynamic responses in vehicle collisions …
