摘要: Pelvis/upper leg injuries in real traffic accidents are compared with the European Enhanced Vehicle-Safety Committee (EEVC) test results of corresponding cars, published by EuroNCAP. The fact that modern automobiles rounded hood edges cause fewer pelvis/upper is discussed. Then, using a finite element model 50th percentile male pedestrian, various impacts against several different simplified shapes were simulated. Recommendations provided for more adequate characterization shape to minimize risk injuries.
