Effects of crash conditions on pedestrian leg kinematics and injuries based on cadaver and dummy tests

Cesari, D.; Cavallero, C.; Farisse, J.; Bonnoit, J.

In order to improve the knowledge in the field of pedestrian injuries and protection, series of cadaver and dummy tests were performed. This paper analyses the results of 20 pedestrian tests performed with car platform fitted with an adjustable front end. The effects of speed and bumper height on leg loadings and leg kinematics are analyzed.
