“…Xu et al [14] motivation was based on the fact that electric self-balancing scooters were widely used by commuters. It was necessary to study the safety of this means of transport as previously for other VRUs [12,13,[15][16][17].…”

“…It was also reported that less than 5% of SES riders wore a helmet [1] from 249 injured patients involved in SES accidents between 1 September 2017 and 31 August 2018 in California. In another study in Auckland, the introduction of shared SES is also correlated with a large number of serious related injuries [3], reporting 64 patients between 15 August 2018 and 15 December 2018. From the 64 injuries, the severity is clear: 27 limb fractures, 3 dislocations, a fractured spine, 12 patients with concussion, 1 extradural bleed and 9 facial or skull fractures [3].…”

Analysis of electric scooter user kinematics after a crash against SUV

The article presents the results of the analysis of electric scooter user kinematics after a crash against a vehicle. The share of electric scooters (e-scooters) in urban traffic has been growing in recent years. The number of road accidents involving e-scooters is also increasing. However, the safety situation of electric scooter users is insufficiently researched in terms of kinematics and injury outcomes. The article presents the importance of this problem based on an in-depth literature analysis of e-scooter-related types of accidents, injuries percentages, and helmet use. Subsequently, four accident scenarios were designed and simulated using two numerical codes–LS-DYNA for handling finite element (FE) code (the vehicle and scooter model) and MADYMO for multibody code (dummy model). Scenario one is a side bonnet crash that simulates an accident when the scooter drives into the side-front of the vehicle. The second and the third simulation is a side B-pillar crash, which was divided into two dummy’s positions: the squat and up-right. The fourth simulation is a frontal impact. For each scenario, subsequent frames describing the dummy movement are presented. The after-impact kinematics for various scenarios were analyzed and discussed. The plots of the dummy’s head linear acceleration and its magnitude for the analyzed scenarios were provided. As the study is devoted to increasing riders safety in this means of transportation, the potential directions for further research were indicated.

“…However, variation in the angle of approach or point of contact showed significantly different results. Carter and Neal-Sturgess [37] studied the kinematics and specific injuries and points of contact involved in car-bicycle accidents by means of a multibody dynamics model built in MADYMO. Accidents were reconstructed from data obtained from real accidents, for which they found a good agreement of the contact points and resulting injuries.…”

A review of the current use of multibody dynamics methods in the analysis of the dynamics of vehicles is given. Railway vehicle dynamics as well as road vehicle dynamics are considered, where for the latter the dynamics of cars and trucks and the dynamics of single-track vehicles, in particular motorcycles and bicycles, are reviewed. Commonalities and differences are shown, and open questions and challenges are given as directions for further research in this field.

“…This mode of rollover is considered common but would be difficult to simulate using a finite element model. With software such as Madymo becoming well-established for accident reconstruction [2], a similar multi-body systemsbased approach has been adopted here to reconstruct a helicopter rollover event. An example from real world case, shown in Figure 3, was used as the basis for a simulation in ADAMS using the generic helicopter data to demonstrate the capability for this scenario.…”

This paper reports on the work of computer simulations carried out at Coventry University as part of the European 6th Framework HeliSafe TA project, which considered the potential improvements in occupant safety for civil helicopters. A multi-body systems approach with additional use of finite elements for critical components such as a pilot airbag and the harnesses was adopted in the computer models to simulate helicopter crash/rollover scenarios and to investigate the effectiveness of occupant protection systems deployed during helicopter crash scenarios. ADAMS and Madymo simulations of helicopter impact/rollover events were demonstrated. A cabin/cockpit model of a Bell UH-1D helicopter was developed to replicate the physical crash test setup and a parametric study for the pilot airbag and a range of harness concepts was performed. The use of validated multi-body systems-based cabin/cockpit models has proved to be effective in the development of new restraint system concepts for occupant protection.
