How to protect pedestrians and reduce the collision injury has gradually become the
new field of automotive safety research and focus in the world. Many engineering studies have
appeared and their purpose is trying to reduce the pedestrian injuries caused by traffic accident.
The physical model involving impactor model and full scale pedestrian model are costly when
taking the impact test. This study constructs a vehicle-pedestrian collision model by using the
MADYMO. To verify the accuracy of the proposed vehicle-pedestrian collision model, the
experimental data are used in the pedestrian model test. The proposed model also will be
applied to analyze the kinematic responses and injuries of pedestrian in collisions in this study.
The modeled results can help assess the pedestrian friendliness of vehicles and assist in the
future development of pedestrian friendliness vehicle technologies.
