Abstract

The European Enhanced Vehicle-safety Committee (EEVC/WG10 and WG17) proposed three component subsystem tests for cars to assess pedestrian protection. The objective of this study is to develop computer simulation models of the EEVC pedestrian subsystem tests. These models are available to develop a car conforming to the pedestrian subsystem test requirements. The pedestrian subsystem test models were developed and validated in this study. However, some improvements are still needed in these models to make them more reliable in simulating the pedestrian subsystem tests to develop a car conforming to the test requirements.
