Abstract

Throughout the world numerous people are killed in vehicle collisions. Different innovations for expanding the energy-engrossing characteristics of the vehicle body are being considered. This paper worked out on the analysis of pedestrian head impact behavior on a vehicle and technique to reduce HIC (Head Impact Criteria) value. Objectives of this research work are: (a) to reduce the HIC (Head injury Criteria) less than 1000 without affecting the outer design and aesthetics of the vehicle, and (b) to find out the best and economical technologies among “rear-rising hood” and “airbag system for controlling pedestrian collision kinematics” to suit Indian requirements. The pedestrian air bag system along with the rear rising hood system is the best possible solution to protect the pedestrian from fatal injuries. The air bag covers the critical areas of the car for better safety.
