Impact of Vehicle Steering Strategy on the Severity of Pedestrian Head Injury.
In response to the sudden violation of pedestrians crossing the road, intelligent vehicles take into account factors such as the road conditions in the accident zone, traffic rules, and surrounding vehicles' driving status to make emergency evasive decisions. Thus, the collision simulation models for pedestrians and three types of vehicles, i.e., sedans, Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs), and Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPVs), are built to investigate the impact of vehicle types, vehicle steering angles, collision speeds, collision positions, and pedestrian orientations on head injuries of pedestrians. The results indicate that the Head Injury Criterion (HIC) value of the head increases with the increase in collision speed. Regarding the steering angles, when a vehicle's steering direction aligns with a pedestrian's position, the pedestrian remains on top of the vehicle's hood for a longer period and moves together with the vehicle after the collision. This effectively reduces head injuries to pedestrians. However, when the vehicle's steering direction is opposite to the pedestrian's position, the pedestrian directly collides with the ground, resulting in higher head injuries. Among them, MPVs cause the most severe injuries, followed by SUVs, and sedans have the least impact. Overall, intelligent vehicles have great potential to reduce head injuries of pedestrians in the event of sudden pedestrian-vehicle collisions by combining with Automatic Emergency Steering (AES) measures. In the future, efforts need to be made to establish an optimized steering strategy and optimize the handling of situations where steering is ineffective or even harmful.
