Published Online: April 30, 2018
...Atsutaka Tamura; Junji Hasegawa; Takao Koide A series of pedestrian sideswipe impacts were computationally reconstructed; a fast-walking pedestrian was collided laterally with the side of a moving vehicle at 25 km/h or 40 km/h, which resulted in rotating the pedestrian's body axially. Potential...

.... The results are then compared with crash test and real world rollover results for the same latch. The results indicate that a door latch that meets the secondary latch position requirements may fail at loads substantially below the FMVSS 206 uniaxial failure loads. In the side impact mode, risks associated...
