A Study of Influences of Vehicle Speed and Front Structure on Pedestrian Impact Responses Using Mathematical Models
TL;DR: In this article, 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, and the possible benefits from speed control in urban area were assessed, and a feasible speed limit was proposed to reduce the risks of pedestrian injuries.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Determination of Bumper Styling and Engineering Parameters to Reduce Pedestrian Leg Injuries
TL;DR: In this paper, a pedestrian's leg injuries due to contact with the bumper and frontal surfaces of a vehicle, assessed using a "pedestrian leg impact device" or "leg-form," are investigated.
Speed limit in city area and improvement of vehicle front design for pedestrian impact protection: a computer simulation study
TL;DR: In this paper, a validated pedestrian mathematical model was used in this study to simulate vehicle-pedestrian impacts, and the most significant parameters to pedestrian impact protection are clarified, especially for head and lower extremities.

Vehicle Interactions with Pedestrians
TL;DR: In this paper, the most frequently and seriously injured body regions, as well as sources for those injuries have been identified based on this knowledge, research to reduce pedestrian trauma has begun to yield encouraging results.

Vehicle Interactions with Pedestrians
TL;DR: In the United States, pedestrian fatalities are still a significant problem, accounting for 13% of the nation's total traffic fatalities as mentioned in this paper, which is even larger in many other countries such as Japan and the United Kingdom.
