TI - Reconstruction and analysis of the course of an accident involving a pedestrian using the V-SIM 5.0 software – examples
AB - The article presents the new functionality of the V-SIM program in version 5 and emphasizes the need to reveal, in particular, all traces on the vehicle and pedestrian's clothing, and to use the expertise of forensic medics, in order to determine the pedestrian's position as precisely as possible at the time of impact by vehicle. The configuration of the pedestrian position in the "multibody" model implemented in the V-SIM program and the real 3D body model of vehicle have a fundamental impact on the simulation of pedestrian impact and post-impact movement of a pedestrian. On the example of two well-documented road incidents involving pedestrians, the analysis of the mechanism of the simulation course and the sensitivity of the simulation results to a given input in the form of a pedestrian's position and the location of their lower and upper limbs is presented. In the summary, attention was paid to the elements of correct simulation preparation in the V-SIM 5 program, leading to obtaining reliable results.
