Raz, U.: Mechanical & biomechanical analysis in accident reconstruction. 20. EVU Conference, Gratz
In many accidents, the question of who drove the vehicle arises. In these cases, the reconstruction involves a deep analysis of the mechanics of the vehicle, the damage to the vehicle’ and the road conditions. The result of this analysis is a set of force vectors which apply to the occupants of the vehicle. There will be a different set of force vectors for each occupant. The occupants of the vehicle have to be examined for their reaction to this set of force vectors. Their injuries have to be the results of these force vectors. Matching the injuries with these force vectors reveals the true location of each wounded person prior to the accident. A case study is presented to demonstrate the above method.
