Traumatic brain injury in pedestrian –vehicle collisions: convexity and suitability of some functionals used as injury metrics

This study is a comparison of commonly used Injury Metrics for evaluation of Traumatic Brain Injury.• The study includes both an empirical comparison and a mathematical comparison of formal properties.• This study is intended as a guideline to obtain new suitable Injury Metrics.• Some new Injury Metrics are proposed, and evaluated using data of pedestrian-vehicle collision.
