Car traffic has increased dramatically. Although additional traffic regulations such as speed limits or other restrictions were imposed to reduce accidents, crashes can be seen every day. Many result in vehicle damages or injuries of occupants or other people involved. Claims, resulting from these accidents, often have to be settled in court. In most countries, special ‘accident reconstruction experts’ assist the judges by reconstructing the accident situations based on information such as eyewitnesses, car deformations, or tire marks. In many countries, these experts are either specially trained police officers or members of the road authorities. In other places, the reconstructions are performed by independent specialists. The necessity to understand the accident for court decisions initiated specific accident research. |
