Abstract:NHTSA contracted the Federal Research Division of the Library of Congress to conduct four distinct literature and data reviews: (1) literature concerning pedestrian injury risk and vehicle size, (2) literature investigating vehicle testing for pedestrian protection (i.e., hood and leg form testing), (3) current and projected vehicle market trends and how they may relate to pedestrian protection, and (4) vehicle crash data sources that include pedestrian conflicts. Task 2, Review of Literature Addressing Effects of Pedestrian Safety-Related Test Requirements on Vehicle Design, Fleet Composition, and Pedestrian Injury details an extended literature review focusing on studies of the real-world effects of pedestrian safety-related regulations including vehicle test requirements such as the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) and the Japan New Car Assessment Program (Japan NCAP).
