The APROSYS in-depth database is a compilation of 70 detailed pedestrian and cyclist or 'VRU' (Vulnerable Road User) accident cases from around Europe. This paper presents a descriptive statistical analysis of the sample data, including impact speeds, road conditions, vehicle make and model, VRU age and gender, side struck, head impact location points on the vehicle and specific injuries sustained. Comparisons are made with British and European epidemiology where available. Also, the relationships between variables such as impact speed and injury severity are discussed together with a comparison between different injury severity scoring systems.
