The aim of this research was to identify the head impact conditions of cyclists, as compared to pedestrians in impacts with vehicles. EEVC Working Groups 10 and 17 focussed on pedestrian safety with the assumption that cyclist safety would also be improved by their recommended test procedures, but that is not necessarily the case. Computer modelling was performed with four different vehicle shapes to calculate the trajectory path and impact conditions of a cyclist’s head onto a vehicle. For all vehicles, apart from the Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) case, the head impact location for cyclists was further rearward than the pedestrian, towards the windscreen and onto the roof. The cyclist’s head also struck at a different angle, but at a velocity similar to a pedestrian’s head.
