Abstract: For the sake of reducing the damage to pedestrians in pedestrian-SUV collision accidents, a accident collision model was built by using Madymo, on the basis of the data on a typical accident case in the National Automobile Accident In-depth Investigation System (NAIS). The effectiveness of the model was proved. The damage to 5 percentile female dummies, and that to 50 and 95 percent male dummies in three emergency postures (forward, squat, standing) were studied by computer simulation testing.The results show that forward is a very dangerous posture, that taking a squat or a standing posture for middle and tall figure pedestrians is a good self-protection measures, and that small body pedestrians taking any of the three kinds of emergency postures usually receive a fatal injury.

Key words: damage to pedestrian, car-pedestrian collision, emergency posture, sports utility vehicle(SUV), Madymo
