Dynamic Anthropometric Characteristics of Pedestrians in Case of Car Collision

The paper gives an overview of the specific features of anthropometric characteristics of humans – pedestrians in case of car accidents involving pedestrians and cars. Here, special attention has been paid to the configuration of the human body while moving, which is in turn related to the initial conditions of a collision. Special part of biomechanics in humans refers to their moving, where human’s walk has a specific posture as a mechanical phenomenon. Based on the carried out analysis the need has been observed for a classification of anthropologic variables by means of which the dynamic inertia moments of a walking human can be calculated, as well as the human, who hit by a car in a traf - fic accident flies along a production curvilinear path. With the development of ergonomics, and the accompanying in - creased application of anthropometry, the static anthropom - etry was abandoned, since the humans are considered high - ly variable in their dimensions, which is extremely important for the dynamic analysis of the human body posture in the collision process.
