Simulations of Pedestrian Impact Collisions with Virtual Crash 3 and Comparisons with IPTM Staged Tests

This article presents results from a series of Virtual CRASH-based pedestrian impact simulations. Virtual CRASH 3 is an accident reconstruction software package that can simulate collisions between vehicle objects using rigid-body dynamics. The authors compare results of the Virtual CRASH simulations with pedestrian-impact collision data from experiments conducted by the Institute of Police Technology and Management. The Virtual CRASH 3 simulator is found to accurately reproduce the expected behavior of projectiles during airborne and ground sliding phases of their trajectories.
