There are concerns regarding the realistic implementation of real world pedestrian accident issues into the EEVC WG17 component testing procedure. The presented approach for a test procedure combines numerical simulations and component tests into a hybrid-test; it is able to solve most of the disadvantages of a conventional component. The key ideas of the hybrid-test will be presented in the paper: Starting with a description of the pedestrian-car-collision a suitable numerical model has been created. Multi body dummies are used to collide with passenger cars under a multitude of conditions (size of the pedestrian, relative location of car and pedestrian, relative speed). The procedure has been applied to two very distinct car models. As a result a statistical pattern describing the impact of pedestrians in a collision is generated for the two selected cars. It is shown that the results are considerably at variance to the testing conditions according to EEVC WG17.
