Summary of IHRA Pedestrian Safety WG Activities (2005) - Proposed Test Methods to Evaluate Pedestrian Protection Afforded by Passenger Cars

This is the summary report of the International Harmonized Research Activities (IHRA) Pedestrian Safety Working Group (PS-WG) activities, including those completed in the past and those to be completed in the future. The primary tasks assigned to the IHRA/PS-WG were: (a) investigating and analyzing the latest pedestrian accident data in the IHRA member countries, and (b) establishing harmonized test procedures that would reflect such accident conditions and would reduce fatalities and severe injuries in pedestrian vs. passenger car crashes.
