AB The Department of Forensic Experts in Transportation at the Faculty of Transportation Sciences performed a second set of dynamic passive safety tests on a passenger car (M1 category - Škoda Octavia II) in a child pedestrian collision. Initial and test conditions were similar to those that were made in the first set of tests in September 2009 (Škoda Roomster). Deformations of contact zones on the frontal vehicle surface were analyzed by 3D scanning technology (3D handy scanner). Head, thorax and pelvic resultant acceleration, acceleration of knee joint in sagittal direction and the contact force on the femoral structure of the dummy (P6 dummy, 1.17m; 22kg) were measured. The aim of these tests is not only to provide a detailed description of pedestrian kinematics and a comparison of primary and secondary impact seriousness, but also to provide a data source for advanced mathematical modeling.
