A study of adult pedestrian head impact conditions and injury risks in passenger car collisions based on real-world accident data.
Conclusions: The present study provides new insight into pedestrian head impact conditions in terms of velocity, angle, and impact location based on a number of real-world cases. Therefore, it may perform a critical analysis for current pedestrian head standard tests.
