PEDESTRIAN HEAD IMPACT ANALYSIS

Car-pedestrian accidents account for a considerable number of automobile accidents in industrialized countries. Head injury continues to be more concerned in Automobile impacts. Because the head is the most seriously injured part in many collisions including in pedestrian automobile collisions. Head injuries are the most common cause of pedestrian deaths in car to pedestrian collisions. To reduce the severity of su ch injuries international safety committee have proposed subsystem tests in which headform impactors are impacted upon the car hood. Pedestrian protection has become an increasingly important con sideration in vehicle crash safety. Pedestrian- vehicle crashes cause a significant number of pedestrian fatalities and injuries globally. Computer models are powerful tools for understanding how to reduce the severity of injuries in such crashes. Headform impactors are used to test the behaviour of vehicle structures such as the hood.
