To help the judiciary to identify responsibility for traffic accident, accidents reconstruction gives the possibility of reconstructing the original course of events. So far, human injuries have not been discussed in the literature, in relation to traffic accident reconstruction. In this paper, we develop an accident reconstruction model using human injuries criteria. The acceleration of a human head during a crash is discussed. According to the FMVSS No. 208 specification, Head Injury Criteria (HIC) are calculated. Impact velocities have been deduced, in this model, working backward from human injuries. The purpose of this paper is to reconstruct the details of traffic accidents. This is extremely important in legal assessment of the drivers’ responsibilities for causing accidents. Additionally, we have performed reconstruction analyses of several actual accidents and have discussed the accuracy of present reconstruction models. These models can be useful for crash reconstruction and can also improve accuracy in investigation of accidents. |
