Vulnerable road users are overrepresented in the worldwide number of
road-traffic injury victims. Developing biofidelic male and female pedestrian
HBMs representing a range of anthropometries is imperative to follow through
with the efforts to increase road safety and propose intervention strategies.
In this study, a 50th percentile male and female pedestrian of the SAFER HBM
was developed via a newly developed image registration-based mesh morphing
framework for subject personalization. The HBM and its accompanied
personalization framework were evaluated by means of a set of cadaver
experiments, where subjects were struck laterally by a generic sedan buck. In
the simulated whole-body pedestrian collisions, the personalized HBMs
demonstrate a good capability of reproducing the trajectories and head
kinematics observed in lateral impacts. The presented pedestrian HBMs and
personalization framework provide robust means to thoroughly and accurately
reconstruct and evaluate pedestrian-to-vehicle collisions.

开发生物模拟男女行人 HBMs，经过新开发的基于图像配准的网格变形框架个性化代表一系列人体测量数据是增进道路安全的重要举措。该研究通过实验验证了这些个性化 HBMs 在整体行人碰撞中重现观察到的行人运动学能力的优越性，提供了全面准确重建和评估行人与车辆碰撞的强大方法。
