Abstract

This study was to analyze road accident epidemiology of pedestrians by stressing the age of the injured, vehicle speed, possible trajectories of the impact, location of traumatic lesions on the human body, and environment of accidents.

At the conclusion of the study, recommendations were made to acquire methods aimed at using data in a more rational way, as well as seeking more complete sources.
