Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To reconstruct the course of vehicle collision, so that to provide the reference for forensic identification and disposal of traffic accidents.
METHODS:Through analyzing evidences left both on passengers and vehicles, technique of momentum impulse combined with multi-dynamics was applied to simulate the motion and injury of passengers as well as the track of vehicles.
RESULTS:Model of computer stimulation perfectly reconstructed phases of the traffic collision, which coincide with details found by forensic investigation.
CONCLUSION:Computer stimulation is helpful and feasible for forensic identification in traffic accidents.
