Abstract: A driving simulation test was performed to obtain the driver’s emergency operating data as a
reference for accident reconstruction. In-depth human-vehicle-road data from 88 accident cases were analyzed
according to the experiences of traffic accident investigation, based on the real data source of vehicleto-
pedestrian accidents in Beijing. The typical accident modality, impact character and road scene were
summarized, including the motion status of the vehicle and pedestrian, the type and characteristics of roads,
and the emergency behavior of drivers to build a virtual reality emulation of vehicle-to-pedestrian accidents.
The trigger experiments of human-vehicle conflicts were exerted using typical parameters for designed working
conditions. Then the former conclusions of driver’s emergency measures were obtained with the feasibility of
test methods being verified, which provides references for the combination research of driving simulation and
accident reconstruction.

Key words: vehicle-to-pedestrian accidents, driving simulation, accident scenario, driver behavior
