Abstract
With the development of simulation technology, the numerical methods can help to reconstruct the traffic accidents. Based on the dynamic models of collisions, a Momentum/Energy method to predict the pre-impact motion was introduced through the optimization of the rest positions of the vehicles. With the help of Pc-Crash, the method of traffic accident reconstruction can be achieved, and several simulation runs will be performed, to find a solution, where post impact trajectories and rest positions correspond with the real accidents. In the paper, two kinds of collision accidents, the car crash to the wall and the car crash to another car, are analyzed based on the method. The simulation results show that applying the tire marks in the accident scene and the Momentum/Energy method can provide the scientific and numerical references for the analysis and judgment of the traffic accidents.
