The possibilities of using an outline crash sketch in modelling and simulation of accidents

Abstract

The paper underpins the reconstruction and analysis of a vehicle - motorcycle-biker-assembly collision type by means of a graphical method. The virtual modeling of the traffic accident reconstruction was achieved by complying the traces and the distances identified; hence it was imported and developed the accident scene sketch. Following the numerical processing of the simulation, the vehicles speed during the pre-collision, collision and post-collision phases was determined in graphical form, generating speed and space variation diagrams.
