In Korea, pedestrian accidents account for about 40% of traffic accident mortality. Head injuries are 60% of the cause of death in pedestrian accidents. Therefore, the Pedestrian head protection performance test protocol using adult and child head impactors has been proposed in K-NCAP. The testing method was created based on the Ministry of Construction and Transportation research program and global technical regulation of pedestrian safety by UNECE WP29. The impact velocity of the head impactor was set at 40㎞/h. The evaluation method was created based on the Euro-NCAP method. In order to evaluate the difference in the vehicle safety performance, a sliding scale was adopted to convert the injury values ranging from HIC 1000 to HIC 1700 to the score.
