1981 classified pedestrian post impact kinematics as one of the following conditions.
Roof vault pedestrian impact.
The wrap trajectory and forward projection are the most common impact scenarios and are the only ones investigated in this study.
In particular the injury severity score was highest in the roof vault group.
Wrap trajectory forward projection fender vault roof vault or somersault.
And the associated injury risks are compared.
Kinematics of pedestrian collisions ravani et al.
The fourth impact orientation is the roof vault which begins initially like a wrap trajectory but in this case the pedestrian s legs do not stay ahead of the vehicle.
Pedestrian injury patterns are analyzed for each of the trajectory types.
The vault maneuver is completed when the.
Chest and abdomen were the most severe in the fender vault group and head and neck injuries were the most severe in the roof vault group.
Wrap forward projection fender vault roof vault and somersault.
An injury risk index is defined.
