This book is aimed at understanding the physical processes which occur when pedestrians and cyclists are struck by motorised vehicles. We provide a clear overview of the importance of pedestrian and cyclist impacts and the principal goals are to show how pedestrian and cyclist pre-impact movements and vehicle design influence subsequent injury outcome. This involves recourse to several academic disciplines: epidemiology, mechanics and anatomy/physiology. Therefore, this book presents pedestrian and cyclist impact from a biomechanical perspective.
