This report presents the results of an experimental study to establish baseline data on pedestrian head impacts onto the hoods and fenders of current production vehicles. Eight different current production vehicles from subcompact to full size were struck at numerous points on the surface using a headform impactor. Pedestrian accident investigation files from the Pedestrian Injury Causation Study were used to identify principal head impact areas on the hood, and the relation between vehicle velocity and head injury.
