Methodology of data collection and analysis for the evaluation of injuries of participants in traffic accidents with regard to active elements in vehicles
Methodology of data collection and analysis for the evaluation of injuries of participants in traffic accidents with regard to active elements in vehicles
The methodology is intended for designers of road vehicles and analysts who deal with the collection and evaluation of data from traffic accidents in relation to the design of new elements in vehicles. The core part of the methodology is devoted to the collection of data from the scene of a traffic accident following the injury of a participant in the accident (specifically a pedestrian). Part of the text is devoted to the analysis of passive and active safety with the aim of identifying the degree of influence on the course of the accident mechanism. In the conclusion, one element of the vehicle's passive safety, the active hood, and its influence on the course of the accident is discussed.
