DYNAMICS OF MOTORCYCLE IMPACT. VOLUME I. SUMMARY REPORT - RESULTS OF CRASH TEST PROGRAM AND COMPUTER SIMULATION

A SERIES OF 27 MOTORCYCLE CRASH TESTS USING 50% ANTHROPOMETRIC DUMMY RIDERS HAS BEEN PERFORMED. THE DUMMY RIDER WAS INSTRUMENTED WITH ACCELEROMETERS AND A THREE-AXIS RATE GYRO. FIVE HIGH-SPEED MOVIE CAMERAS WERE USED TO RECORD THE CRASH EVENT. A PARALLEL EFFORT HAS DEVELOPED A DIGITAL COMPUTER SIMULATION OF THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL POST-CRASH MOTION OF A MOTORCYCLE AND DUMMY RIDER. /AUTHOR/
