Abstract

A large part of pelvis injuries in pedestrian accidents are due to contact with the high bonnet leading edge (BLE) of vehicles such as SUVs. This research examined a capability of pelvis injury evaluation by comparing injuries estimated using a combination of a human FE model and a pelvis injury index, and the injury measures from the upper legform adopted by Euro NCAP for the BLE tests.
