Abstract
The interaction of the human body with a moving car is signifi cantly accentuated problems of biomechanics that has been intensity studied at many important institutions around the Word (ADAC, TÜV, Mercedes-Benz, Škoda Auto, Czech Technical University in Prague - Faculty of Transportation, Charles University - Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, etc.). It is complex problems of mechanically complicated system of visco-elastic elements (segments of the body, tissues, organs, etc.) interconnected by joints with variable stiffness and controlled by the nervous system.
This study fi nds out whether it is appropriate to analyze cyclist accidents by using the relations describing the pedestrian throw and using the simulation software Madymo models the side-impact collision caused by car. This paper also describes how infl uential are the forms of the front parts of normal cars and the position of cyclist on three types of bicycles.
The analysis of formulas which estimate the car speed before the impact contributes mainly in the fi eld of judicial connoisseurship and investigating of car accidents.
