Abstract

Since the 1980s, Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI) has been developing computer simulation models in order to analyze car-pedestrian accidents and has been validating the models with full-scale car-pedestrian tests with Postmortem Human Subjects (PMHSs). This report presents reconstructions of real-world car-pedestrian accidents using the latest JARI pedestrian model and demonstrates the possibility of in-depth case studies on car-pedestrian accidents.
