TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - AF05 bicyclist's head kinematics in car-to-ebike perpendicular and angular impacts JO - International journal of automotive engineering A1 - Pal, Chinmoy A1 - Vallabhaneni, Pratapnaidu A1 - Kulothungan, Vimalathithan A1 - Manoharan, Jeyabharath A1 - Shigeru, Hirayama SP - 16 EP - 23 VL - 12 IS - 1 N2 - This paper focused on different types of passenger vehicles vs. small scooter type E-bike collisions for AF05 bicyclists. Detail FE bicyclist human body model (HBM) and E-bike are developed. It is observed that (i) location of head impact (WAD) matches the recent CNCAP proposal and (ii) bonnet leading edge (BLE) height which varies with vehicle profile influences overall kinematics of the bicyclist. Hence, future head protection guidelines for bicyclists should be based on real-world accident statistics of that region.
