Summary:

A pedestrian involved traffic collision is generally less fully understood than the "typical" car-to-car broadside intersection collision. For this reason, the analysis of the pedestrian involved collision is, in many respects, more complicated and demanding.This paper addresses the typical sequence of events in a pedestrian involved collision and the movement of the vehicle and pedestrian body from pre-impact through the collision to their final points of rest.Methods for the analysis of the pedestrian involved collision, including a review of several different techniques for calculating vehicle impact velocity are also presented. A comparison of crash test data to different forms of analysis is provided as a frame of reference for the reader in evaluating these methods
