Thesis

Vehicle safety has the task of developing vehicles in such a way that accidents are avoided or the consequences of accidents are reduced as much as possible. In the field of pedestrian protection, so-called impactors are used to represent parts of the human body (head, hip and leg) and to assess the risk of injury in the event of a collision with the vehicle. The criteria and limits for assessing impactor load cases are defined and continuously developed by legislation (UN R 127) and consumer protection organizations (Euro NCAP). For example, the area of the windshield is newly included in the legal impact area and extended beyond the previous level for the Euro NCAP consumer protection test.
