Development and preliminary validation of a 5th percentile female pedestrian finite element model
Abstract eng: Pedestrians represent one of the most vulnerable road users. Impact simulations using finite element (FE) pedestrian models could help to better understand the injuries recorded in pedestrian accidents and design pedestrian-friendly vehicles. A high biofidelity finite element pedestrian model corresponding to anthropometry of a 5th percentile female (F05) in standing posture was developed and preliminarily validated in this study. The model was validated at component level and then verified in a car-to-pedestrian simulation. Overall, the model showed promising results and a good capability to predict the injury risk of the pedestrian during lateral car impact.
