A synthesis of data from a multi-purpose survey on pedestrian accidents

Thomas, C.; Stcherbatcheff, G.; Duclos, P.; Tarriere, C.; Foret-Bruno, J. Y.; Got, C.; Patel, A.

The first results of a medical and technical multi-purpose survey on 07 "car-pedestrian" accidents are stated.

The configurations of the "car-pedestrian" collisions are examined, and the influence of collision speed and age on the seriousness of the injuries whether taken as a whole or per body area is looked into.

The second phase consists in analysing what causes injuries (ground or vehicle). Special attention is paid to "head-vehicle" impacts.
