Abstract

The purpose of this study is to clarify the situation of accidents involving bicycles carrying children for accident prevention and damage mitigation. We performed two rear-end crash tests in order to understand the behavior of cyclists and children in the accidents. As a result, the value of HIC of the child dummy at the collision with the road surface was much higher than that at the collision with the hood. In addition, depending on the behavior of a child falling to the road surface, it was suggested that the seat belt could lower the risk of child’s head injury.
