Simulation of a Real Accident with a Pedestrian Using a FE Human Model: Potential from the View of Integrated Safety

Pedestrian and cyclist casualties represented about 25% of the fatalities in traffic accidents in Germany in 2012. Since about half of the frontal collisions with a pedestrian are non‐ or partially braked, Advanced Emergency Braking (AEB) systems are expected to have a great potential for the improvement of the protection. Based on a real world accident reconstruction, this study tries to assess not only the decrease of the impact speed with an AEB system but also the influence of such a system on the injury risk.
