The responses from the current humanoid formulation have been validated against staged cadaver tests by reference to kinematics/trajectories and measured parameters. It was clear that the validation could be improved further with more comprehensive cadaver limb size data. As the full flexible formulation of the humanoid is completed this exercise will be repeated to confirm its suitability and uniqueness as a vehicle design tool and real world accident reconstruction tool. The initial development of pedestrian humanoid models and the use of one of these models in both simplified and more detailed pedestrian accident simulations have been described. It was demonstrated that both simplified and detailed pedestrian accident simulation models are useful in gaining a better understanding of the pedestrian and vehicle interaction. However, care should be taken when deciding which approach to take because they achieve different objectives. In essence, simplified pedestrian accident simulation models may be used as research tools whereas detailed pedestrian accident simulation models are vehicle design tools.
