This book has provided detailed descriptions of pedestrian and cyclist injuries from vehicle impacts, and has reviewed the principal biomechanical analysis methods that can be applied to reduce the scale and severity of this problem. However, many gaps in our understanding remain, and it is appropriate to summarise the overall level of knowledge in pedestrian and cyclist impacts and to provide perspectives for future research. This is done here under the following headings: Epidemiology and in-depth crash injury studies Kinematics Population variations to injury and disability outcomes Modelling and simulation Cost benefit calculations of future gains Immediate problems of pedestrians and cyclists in low income countries Design requirements for future vehicles Requirements for a global pedestrian/cyclist friendly standard
