Abstract: Starting from the statistical data in the field, according to which the most vulnerable road users are pedestrians, with the highest number of deaths, the present research deals with the problem of the impact between a vehicle and a pedestrian.

The main purpose of this study is to carry out a comparative analysis on the determination of kinematic parameters in the case of vehicle – pedestrian collision. An influencing factor on the value of the kinematic parameters and the pedestrian trajectory following the collision is represented by the front profile of the vehicle. For the virtual modeling of this impact, different frontal profiles of the vehicle were considered, but with the same characteristics of the pedestrian and the same impact speed.

The comparative analysis of the vehicle – pedestrian impact takes into account three different types of vehicle in terms of the frontal profile shape, namely: almost flat and vertical profile, high profile and low profile. The determination of the projection distances of the pedestrian following the impact was carried out by two methods.
