“…Previous studies [7,34,35] showed that pedestrian pre-impact posture has a significant influence on pedestrian kinematics during vehicle-to-pedestrian simulations. To better represent these preimpact parameters, this study implemented a continuous gait sequence of the Madymo pedestrian model [13] based on literature data and simulations.…”

“…For instance, it is common for crash investigators to decide the stance phase of the pedestrian based on whether the anterior or the posterior aspect of the head was injured during the crash (e.g., van Rooij et al, 2003). Meissner et al (2004) used a computational model to demonstrate that stance has a substantial effect on the subsequent impacts of the head and thorax with the vehicle. The variation in stance changes the severity of an injury incurred during an impact by altering the region impacted and the subsequent upper body kinematics.…”

Current vehicle and restraint designs consider a relatively small percentage of the variation that exists within the population of humans and the distribution of crashes. The breadth of these variations, coupled with the added complexity of ever-changing societal trends, will not permit designs developed using conventional techniques to realize established goals for injury and fatality reduction. Within the realm of passive and integrated safety, widespread implementation of modeling into the design and evaluation process provides the only viable means of achieving significant reductions in injury and fatality. Ultimately, the versatility and efficiency of computational modeling will establish a new paradigm in which injury is described by causal mechanisms including statistical representations of population variations. While this transformational change will be guided and directed by simulation technology, it will require commensurate evolution of techniques within the fields of experimental biomechanics, crash reconstruction, and epidemiology.
