| Abstract: | The aim of this paper is to predict head injury probability for cyclists in road accidents using a multibody approach. Cyclist accidents are standardised into seven categories according to the impact configuration. A comparative analysis at identical vehicle and cyclist impact velocities was carried out in order to establish which impact configuration is the most dangerous for cyclists. Simulations in PC Crash software were carried out for each impact configuration at the same impact velocity using a Sedan vehicle. HIC values were calculated using cyclist head accelerations obtained through simulation and the corresponding skull fracture probabilities have been assessed. |
