Abstract The main objective of the paper is to determine how the overlap between the pedestrian and the vehicle influence the head injury severity in case of an accident. In order to solve this objective, two full scale crash-tests were performed, using two vehicles and a crash-test dummy. In the dummy’s head, a tri-axial accelerometer was mounted in order to measure head accelerations, and by calculating HIC (Head Injury Criteria), the head injury can be assess.
