Abstract

This paper try to identify the minimum speed of vehicles in collision between pedestrian head and windshield at vehicle-pedestrian accidents. The MADYMO program was used with NF Sonata vehicle and pedestrian in height of 160cm, 170cm, and 180cm. From the simulation results, it was found that the minimum speed of vehicle was different for each pedestrian height : 49km/h for 160cm, 41km/h for 170cm, and 29km/h for 180cm. The results could be used in speed estimating process when there is a collision trace between pedestrian head and windshield at vehicle- pedestrian accident investigation.

본 연구는 차량-보행자 사고시 보행자의 신장에 따라 보행자의 두부가 승용차의 전면유리에 닿을 수 있는 최저 속도를 제시하기 위하여 수행되었다. 마디모(MADYMO) 프로그램을 사용하여, NF쏘나타 차량에 대하여 보행자의 신장을 160cm, 170cm 180cm로 구분하여 평가하였다. 평가 결과, 승용차의 최저 속도값은 보행자의 신장이 160cm인 경우 약 49km/h, 170cm일 때 약 41km/h, 그리고 180cm일 때 약 29km/h로 나타났다. 이러한 값은 승용차 대 보행자 교통사고에서 승용차의 전면유리에 보행자 두부의 충돌흔적이 있을 시 속도추정의 중요 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
