Abstract

The paper describes an experimental and numerical approach to head injury verification occurring in transportation accidents. Current trends in pedestrian, cyclist and motorcyclist safety are presented and some state-of-the-art techniques are included to mitigate injuries, which occur when an external force traumatically damages the brain. Finally, a finite element analysis was conducted to assess the safety performance of a commercial motorcycle helmet.
