Abstract

Analysis of the influence of the impact speed on the risk of injury of the driver and front passenger of a passenger car

Highlights

  • Speed is a basic operating parameter of a car, taken into account while designing roads and streets, determining the total time of the journey and the risk of a traffic accident and the severity of its possible results

  • The differences between mode values of Pcomb indicator calculated on the basis of mode HIC36 and CAcc indicators and acc. to (8) for 9 groups are not higher than 5% for the rest of the groups (I, II, IV, IX and XI), the differences remaining at the level of 8-12%

  • The analysis of the injury risk includes the loads on head and chest (HIC36 i CAcc indicators)

Summary

Introduction

Speed is a basic operating parameter of a car, taken into account while designing roads and streets, determining the total time of the journey and the risk of a traffic accident and the severity of its possible results. When setting the speed limit and deciding on the measures of supervision to be applied, many factors are taken into account, connected with the road geometry and its visibility, the condition of the surface, intensity and structure of the traffic among others Another important issue is the influence of the speed on the results of the accidents [5, 21]. The results of laboratory tests, assessing the influence of the collision speed on the forces acting on the occupants of the vehicle are rarely published, the apparent reason being the costs of this kind of research. The results of the assessment of the risk of injury, performed tistical models are developed, making it possible to assess the influon the basis of the laboratory tests, are applied to the data on the car ence of the impact speed on the risk of injury of the occupants of the accidents. 8, 9, 16, 18, 23], injury risk curves were calculated for the occupants during a road accident and for the necessity of reducing the loads to of the vehicle (logistic regression), presented in Figure 1, regarding a minimum
