Preliminary study on speed evaluation and impact configuration reconstruction of vehicles with human- machine interactive programming

The study aims at developing analysis approaches of vehicle-accident reconstruction in an attempt to recreate the initial impact configuration and clarify accident responsibility. One purpose is to conclude a straightforward and confident reconstruction module as a base of dealing with vehicle impact accidents. Both forward and backward deriving methods have been applied as the means of accident reconstruction. The initial impact configuration can be resulted from dynamic equations of pre-impact, impact and post-impact phases. The obtained formulated relations have been further schemed to be an interactive human-machine environment. The initial impact configuration can thus be yielded, as some necessary data are input to the developed program.
