Wrap trajectory forward projection fender vault roof vault or somersault.
Roof vault pedestrian impact.
The vault maneuver is completed when the.
The wrap trajectory and forward projection are the most common impact scenarios and are the only ones investigated in this study.
Kinematics of pedestrian collisions ravani et al.
In particular the injury severity score was highest in the roof vault group.
Due to the impact forces the legs continue to rotate upward with the pedestrian essentially standing on his head on or near the roof line.
Pedestrian injury patterns are analyzed for each of the trajectory types.
An injury risk index is defined.
Five basic kinematic trajectories have been identified for frontal collision cases and are described as.
And the associated injury risks are compared.
Injury analysis of patients according to impact patterns involved in pedestrian traffic crashes.
1981 classified pedestrian post impact kinematics as one of the following conditions.
