Abstract
At EVU 2016 we presented the preliminary data from correlation study concerning relation between
occurrence of certain specific pedestrian injuries and impact speed to pedestrian body. 
This study
confirmed conclusions from previous research attempts that there are pedestrian injuries that can be
used as a markers for impact speed estimation [1] and thus (in connection with other methods) help the
reconstructionist to better pinpoint the impact speed which is basic input for following accident
reconstruction and analysis. In this paper we made 70 in-depth reconstructions of pedestrian traffic
accidents and used logistic regression analysis to estimate relationship between impact speed into
pedestrian body and occurrence of 6 specific injuries. The conclusions from this research can be used in
pedestrian accident reconstruction in estimating the impact speed.
