Abstract - Body injury in traffic accidents is classified through the method of vehicle-ergonomics and medical jurisprudence. A synthetical model of human body injuries is established to describe various body injuries. Based on this model, a database of body injuries in traffic accidents is developed by the object-oriented method. Through the database, all the information about body injuries can be collected and analyzed. Then the characteristics of body injuries in various traffic accidents are obtained through the investigation on the casualties in real accidents. Pedestrian and cycler injuries from various impact accidents are analyzed respectively. As an application, accident reconstruction by means of body injuries is discussed, such as the conformations of persons identity, the range of impact velocity, etc.
