Vehicle accident simulation study
If the rider collides with the door at a very high speed, the consequence will be very serious and may lead to serious injury, even to death.
#Vehicle accident simulation study driver
For simplicity, in the following paper, a rider is used to represent the driver of a non-motor vehicle. The collision accident between the driver of non-motor vehicle and car door will occur when the driver or the passenger in the parking car opens the door suddenly ignoring a bicycle or an electric bicycle passing by. Owing to high speed of the electric bicycles, there are often some hidden accidents, such as “door of the car opened resulting to death” (as shown in Fig. However, since the Chinese invented the electric bicycles in 1996 which are categorized as non-motor vehicles and usually run at a speed of 35 km/h or even higher, China has been the largest producer and consumer of the electric bikes. Most of related research is focused on pedestrian safety protection of frontal crash between pedestrian and vehicle. Thus, it is urgent and of great practical significance to carry out the research on pedestrian safety protection. The pedestrian safety protection has been studied by researchers in many countries and is also the focus of passive safety protection research. The pedestrian-car crash is one of main types of traffic accidents, and the rate of casualties is high for this kind of accident in China.
