• Headlight Cone of Vision
  
• Night time vision
  
• Retro / Retro-Reflective clothing and materials
  
• Pedestrian clothing
  
• Lighting Devices
  
• Glare recovery time
  
• Pedestrian signals
  
• Pedestrian walking / running speeds
  
• Forward Projection
  
• Torso wrap down
  
• Fender Vaults
  
• Injury Kinematics
  
• Pedestrian total throw distance
  
• Pedestrian Vaulting distance
