The Role of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Modelling in Predicting Pedestrian Collision Parameters and Injuries

This presentation will present a new in-situ artificial intelligence (AI) tool which can compute the vehicle impact speed, pedestrian crossing speed, gait and crossing direction, from vehicle profile and bumper and windscreen damage.

It will include a case study which demonstrates how trauma can be computed on the brain (white and grey matter).
