Aim: The purpose of this session is to collect the largest possible number of researchers working on the topic and make sure to exchange their knowledge. The study could tend to the determination of an optimum design of the front of the vehicle for the purpose of minimizing the damage which the pedestrian or cyclist suffer. it is also appropriate to assess more accurately the effects of braking of the vehicle, which in some cases does not appear to be of great effectiveness.
Topics:
1)Crash vehicle - pedestrian, with study of the effects of primary and secondary (with the ground) impacts.
2)Crash vehicle - byciclist
3)Vehicle front shape to injury reduction
4)Automatic device of braking to injury reduction.
5)Devices of protection of the pedestrian and of cyclist.
