Vehicle rollovers are complex events that can be difficult to reconstruct. The goal of this study was to explore whether different vehicle trip models could identify when during the trip phase a vehic....
In order to investigate traffic accidents and determine their causes, first it is necessary to clarify the circumstances in which they occurred. The traveling trajectory of the vehicle(s) involved pri....
Aerial photoscanning is a software-based photogrammetry method for obtaining three-dimensional site data. Ground Control Points (GCPs) are commonly used as part of this process. These control points a....
Ground-based Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) using FARO Focus 3D scanners (and other brands of scanners) are repeatedly shown to accurately capture the geometry of accident scenes, accident vehicl....
Photogrammetry, camera matching, and model-based image matching are commonly used techniques to analyze photographs and video for accident reconstruction and other forensic applications. Investigators....
Photoscanning photogrammetry is a method for obtaining and preserving three-dimensional site data from photographs. This photogrammetric method is commonly associated with small Unmanned Aircraft Syst....
Accident scene data obtained from photographs and videos are vital to the analysis performed during accident reconstruction. They allow forensic analysts to precisely determine the orientation and loc....
Rising electric scooter popularity has seen a surge in electric scooter crashes. Crash reconstructionists increasingly have access to global positioning system (GPS) data for micromobile vehicle trips....
The biomechanical injury assessment for an occupant in a planar vehicle-to-vehicle collision often requires a kinematic analysis of impact-related occupant motion. This analysis becomes more complex w....
Approaching an intersection and braking to a stop, as well as accelerating from a stop, is a common occurrence in daily life. While the experience is routine, the actual rate of deceleration and accel....
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems equipped on modern vehicles have grown increasingly sophisticated in recent years, with modern vehicles detecting and attempting to avoid collisions with pede....
Many motorcycle crashes involve the motorcycle capsizing, impacting the ground, and sliding on the road surface. When performing speed calculations, the energy or speed loss for the ground impact and ....
PC-Crash is an accident reconstruction program that enables the user to analyze vehicle collision dynamics and trajectory models. This research paper presents the utilization of PC-Crash to analyze mo....
Around the turn of this century, the automotive industry introduced a new type of technology to drive the gauges on a vehicle’s instrument cluster. The change was unannounced to the collision reconstr....
Laser scanners are typically used in vehicle accident reconstruction and forensic applications to measure roadway and vehicle details. However, laser scanners used near congested roadways can digitize....
