차량형상과 충돌형태에 따른 보행자 거동 특성에 관한 연구

Abstract

Pedestrians involved in traffic accidents manifest unique trajectory characteristics depending on the collision speed, vehicle configuration, and pedestrian postures. However, the existing analytical models for pedestrian movements do not fully include the rotational characteristics of the pedestrians because they assume a two dimensional parabolic trajectory. This faulty assumption in the development of these models limits their applicability and reliability. This study investigated the pedestrians movement at collision by computer simulation. The simulations are carried out by using MADYMO, which is a special simulation software system for dynamic movement analysis. Vehicles and pedestrians are modeled and verified via real crash worthiness experiments. Simulations are performed for various collision speeds, vehicle configuration, and pedestrian postures. Since the simulation uses multi-body dynamics, it can express irregular phenomena of the bodies quite well. The results can be exploited for vehicle design and traffic accident reconstruction.
