Prediction of pedestrian brain injury due to vehicle impact using computational biomechanics models: Are head-only models sufficient?
Conclusions: This study suggests that the FE head-only models may be deficient for car-to-pedestrian impact accident reconstruction and estimation of risk of the pedestrian brain injury. In particular, this applies to the models that simplify the pedestrian skull as a rigid body.
