The three main factors to be considered in the severity outcomes of intersection designs are:
– Speed
– Impact angle
– Kinetic energy threshold (human biomechanical tolerance to harm).
This graph shows the passenger vehicle relationship between these three using a Kinetic Energy Threshold of 100Kj.
