Reconstructions of pedestrian accidents were previously performed. The analysis of the data was presented in the form of functional relationships between measured/computed Head Injury Criterion responses and the probability of death. The probability of death was estimated from the three highest AIS values according to an approach presented by Ulman, et al. A potential for error exists in that the Ulman study was based upon injuries to all body regions, whereas the pedestrian accident reconstructions were based upon only head injuries. The study addresses the probability of death based upon the 2 or 3 highest AIS levels to the head. The differences were found to be relatively small.
