abstract="OBJECTIVE: Using computer simulation to analyze the effects of speed, type of automobile and impacted position on crash-course and injuries of pedestrians in automobile vs. pedestrian accidents. METHODS: Automobiles (bus, minibus, car and truck) and pedestrian models were constructed with multi-body dynamics computing method. The crashes were simulated at different impact speeds (20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 km/h) and different positions (front, lateral and rear of pedestrians). Crash-courses and their biomechanical responses were studied. RESULTS: If the type of automobile and impact position were the same, the crash-courses were similar (impact speed &lt; or = 60 km/h). There were some characteristics in the head acceleration, upper neck axial force and leg axial force. CONCLUSION: Multi-body dynamics computer simulation of crash can be applied to analyze crash-course and injuries (head, neck and leg) of pedestrians.   <p>Language: zh</p>",
