abstract="Of the total number of deaths and injuries in motor vehicle traffic accidents in Japan, those of pedestrians account for 35%, bringing into focus the importance which pedestrian motor vehicle traffic accidents have come to assume of late. Owing to many factors involve in this problem, its technical analysis has lagged behind the measures being taken for occupants protection.With a view to solving this problem as much as possible, we have spent several years on it, conducting a series of experiments. In this experimentation, which we are going to reveal here today, medium-sized motor vehicles and dummy pedestrian representing a whole human figure are brought into collision, and the relationships between the vehicle front form and the impact location of the dummy and their corresponding impact location of the vehicle, and the value of the acceleration which occurs in the collision, etc., are preponderantly studied so as to obtain data in the interest of developing a pedestrian-oriented safety vehicle.<p />",
