The Study on Developing Active Hood Lift System for Decreasing Pedestrian Head Injury
نویسندگان
چکیده
Active hood lift system has been developed to get more spaces for decreasing the head injury during pedestrian impact. This system is composed of detecting sensor, ECU where the algorithm is embedded and the pyro-type actuators which raise the hood. By this system, the rear part of the hood is raised up to approximately 120mm. The test results of system operation are introduced for each three typical impact cases. In this test the system could detect the lower legform impactor from the other rigid pole and only in case of lower legform the actuator is deployed within the required operating time, 30ms. To investigate the effects of this system on decreasing head injury, we have carried out the EURO NCAP child headform impact test in which the actuators are fully deployed and the rear part of the hood is initially lifted up to 115mm. Through this tests we could identify that the head injury could be reduced significantly at all target points

Effect of vehicle front end profiles leading to pedestrian secondary head impact to ground.
Most studies of pedestrian injuries focus on reducing traumatic injuries due to the primary impact between the vehicle and the pedestrian. However, based on the Pedestrian Crash Data Study (PCDS), some researchers concluded that one of the leading causes of head injury for pedestrian crashes can be attributed to the secondary impact, defined as the impact of the pedestrian with the ground after...
متن کاملFrom the Department of Public Health Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden PRIORITIES AND POTENTIAL OF PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION Accident data, Experimental tests and Numerical Simulations of Car-to- Pedestrian Impacts
Pedestrian disability and fatality as a consequence of car crashes is a large global health problem. To introduce maximally effective car-based countermeasures it is important to understand which injuries are most common and from which car parts they originate. It is also important to focus on the most severe injuries resulting in disability or death. The aim of this thesis was therefore to det...

Currently the use of new materials is becoming more prevalent in vehicle industry for the lightweight design purpose. The design of engine hood is very important for pedestrian safety during a vehicle-pedestrian accident. In order to improve the pedestrian protection performance of the new material engine hood, the radial stiffening rib structure and trapezium sandwich structure engine hoods we...
متن کاملIntegrated Bicyclist Protection Systems - Potential of Head Injury Reduction Combining Passive and Active Protection Systems
In recent years both pedestrian passive and active safety systems, such as pedestrian bonnets/airbags and autonomous braking, have emerged on the market and are estimated to be effective to reduce injury of vulnerable road users in car crashes. A natural next step is to develop similar protection systems for bicyclists. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential bicyclist head injur...
متن کاملPedestrian Injuries By Source: Serious and Disabling Injuries in US and European Cases.
US and European pedestrian crash cases were analyzed to determine frequency of injury by body region and by the vehicle component identified as the injury source. US pedestrian data was drawn from the Pedestrian Crash Data Study (PCDS). European pedestrian data was drawn from the German In-Depth Accident Study (GIDAS). Results were analyzed in terms of both serious injury (AIS 3+) and disabling...
