Abstract The windshield plays an important role in accidents. When a pedestrian is hit by a car, impact usually occurs on the windshield, which accounts for approximately 50% of pedestrian deaths during accidents (Xu and Li in Int J Crashworthiness 14:63–71, 2009) [1], typically due to head impact with the windshield (Otte in Proceedingd of the 1999 international IRCOBI conference on the biomechanics of impact, 1999) [2]. Notably, pedestrians comprise the largest group of motor vehicle deaths and account for approximately 24.78% of total traffic accident fatalities (2010). The percentage is even higher in Korea, i.e., approximately 40% of all traffic-related fatalities in 2004 (Oh et al. in Int J Autom Technol 9:191–196, 2008) [3].
