Reference Scenarios for Pedestrian Accidents

The individual accidents are grouped into so-caUed reference scenarios . Reference scenarios are defined as a limited number of scientifically derived traffic situations that represent a major part of the real traffic system [2]. Basis for the construction of reference scenarios are in this case in-depth accident data. A detailed description of the data sources, the development of the methodology as well as the results can be found in [2 ]. The grouping uses parameters that have a high influence on the genesis of the critical situation and describe the pre-crash phase in a meaningful way. In the case of pedestrian accidents the key criteria are  

1 Vehicle going straight, pedestrian crossing from the right, urban 43.5 

3 Vehicle backing up, pedestrian crossing, urban and non-urban 10.0
