Abstract

The aim of the research is to emphasize the possibilities to study the impact between the motor vehicle and the participants in road traffic, by assessing the design parameter of the car body. The impact velocity and motor vehicle frontal structures, including geometry and rigidity, have proved to be important factors that produce trauma. In the presented paper the parameters of the vehicle’s bumper assembly were modified and experimental researches and simulations were carried out, for the bumper position influence over the adult pedestrian head injuries.
