| Summary: | —The purpose of the paper is to determine the
severity of the injury that may appear at the collision of the
frontal part of a vehicle with the pedestrian’s lower limbs. In
this study, the bio-mechanic model of the lower limbs was
constructed, in order to determine the bending moment of the
tibia. The collision forces that were used as input data were
collected from a simulation performed in a traffic accident
reconstruction software. The developed multi-body simulation
is considering all forces acting on the lower limb. The injury
severity is estimated using the bending moment of the tibia. |
