Abstract

Abstract: For the sake of exploring the influencing factors on injuries to cyclist from electric bicycle and automobile side collision, accident reconstruction simulation experiments were carried out by using the multi-body dynamics simulation software of PC-Crash based on the national vehicle accident investigation system (NAIS). Effects of both collision angle and contact position on injuries to cyclist from car-electric bicycle side collision were studied. The results of study show that the contact position of side collision between the electric bicycle and the car has a greater impact on the cyclist's injury, that in the case of side collision with SUV models, cyclist head injury is the most serious in the middle impact, and lower limb injury is the most serious in the rear collision, and that the influence of the angle of the collision between the electric bicycle and the car has no obvious influence on the cyclist's injury.
