Regarding Dennis Horcher's suggestion on the Bohan and Damask book entitled
"Forensic Accident Investigation: Motor Vehicles"--it is a well-written book
with a chapter on pedestrian-vehicle accidents that provides a lot of easy to
understand diagrams and drawings. Be aware, however, that much of the book is
not for the mathematically faint-hearted. I have a PhD in physics and a
bachelor's degree in mathematics and find a lot of the book tough going. A
college course or two in calculus probably is not sufficient background to
understand parts of the book (which, by the way, are very good). On the other
hand, I believe that I get my money's worth in buying a reference book or
attending a seminar if 10 percent of what I get is both understandable and
useable.
Another pedestrian-vehicle reference that is very good is the Jerry Eubanks book
"Pedestrian Accident Reconstruction" by Lawyers Judges Publishing Co
(602-751-1500). The book has a plethora of information on the subject with
drawings, diagrams and photos, and a lot of useful formulas that don't require
calculus.
