N2  - The purpose of this study is to clarify the situation of how a bicyclists' head impacts against a car and the ground for consideration of their head protection methods. To analyze the situation, computer simulation analyses were carried out using a commercialized software called MADYMO. As a result, it was found that the values of head injury criteria became severely high at the head impact on the A pillar and the ground. Therefore, it was clarified that the necessity of taking countermeasures for both the A pillar and the ground to promote a bicyclist's head protection.<p /> <p>Language: ja</p>
