Abstract
Abstract
This study examines the role of pedestrian lower limb injury characteristics in analyzing collision postures in traffic accidents. A real case of a pedestrian-vehicle collision involving typical pedestrian injuries is selected, and the pedestrian’s posture at the moment of collision is comprehensively analyzed using lower limb injury characteristics, traffic accident traces, and findings from the autopsy report on brain injuries. The results indicate that relying solely on the surface characteristics of lower limb injuries to determine the collision direction may lead to erroneous conclusions. While the analysis of lower limb surface injuries is of significant practical value for reconstructing accident processes and determining responsibility in road traffic accidents, it also provides important reference value for improving pedestrian lower limb safety. However, analyzing pedestrian collision postures based on lower limb injuries is a complex and challenging task. It requires the integration of multiple factors and information for thorough analysis and research.
