The side collision reconstruction algorithm is developed using three dimensional car crash analysis. Medium size passenger car is modeled for finite element analysis. Total 24 side collision configurations, four different speed and six different angle, are set up for making side collision database. Deformation index and degree index are built up for each collision case. Deformation index is a kind of deformation estimate averaging displacement of side door of crashed car from finite element analysis result. Angle index is constructed measuring deformed angle of crashing car. There are two kinds of angle index, one is measured at driver's side and the other is measured at passenger's side. Also a collision analysis information in side of cars is used for giving a basis for scientific and practical reason in a reconstruction of the car accident. The analysis program, LS-DYNA3D is utilized for finite element analysis program for a collision analysis. Those database are used for side collision reconstruction. Side collision reconstruction algorithm is developed, and applied to find the collision conditions before the accident occurs. Three example collision cases are tried to check the effectiveness of the algorithm. Deformation index and angle index is extracted for the case from the analysis result. Deformation index is compared to the established database, and estimated collision speed and angle are introduced by interpolation function. Angle index is used to select a specific collision condition from the several available conditions. The collision condition found by reconstruction algorithm shows good match with original condition within 10% error for speed and angle. As a result, the calculation from the reconstruction of the situation is reproducing the situation well. The performance in this study can be used in many ways for practical field using deformation index and degree index. Other different collision situations may be set up for extending the scope of this study in the future.

Recently Digital-TachoGraph(DTG) was mounted mandatorily in commercial vehicles(Taxi, Bus, etc.). DTG records accurate and detailed information of the running state of vehicles related to traffic accident, such as Time, Distance, Velocity, RPM, Brake ON/OFF, GPS, Azimuth, Acceleration. Thus those standardized data can play an important role in traffic accident investigation and reconstruction. To develope the accurate and objective method using the DTG data for the reconstruction of traffic accident, we had conducted several tests such as driving test, high speed circuit test, braking test, slalom test at Korea Automobile Testing & Research Institute(KATRI), and collision test at Korea Automobile insurance repair Research and Training center(KART) with the vehicle equipped with several DTG. Development of the program which enables the reading and analysis of the DTG data was followed. In the experiments, we have found velocity error, RPM error, brake signal error and azimuth error in several products, and also non-continuous event data. The cause of these errors was deduced to be related to the correction factor, the durability of electronic parts and the algorithm.

교통사고의 재구성 해석은 도로와 사고흔적, 자동차 손상 등 다양한 자료들을 분석함으로서 이루어진다. 대부분의 자료들은 사고 해석에서 변수로 작용하며, 측정으로부터 구해지는 자료들은 조사자와 도구, 주어진 환경 등에 의해 측정 오차가 발생된다. 따라서 사고해석에서는 측정 오차에서 비롯되는 불확실성이 항상 존재한다. 본 연구는 불확실성이 존재할 가능성이 매우 높은 도로 기하구조와 타이어 흔적 등 길이와 마찰계수 등에 대해 반복 측정 실험을 함으로서 교통 사고해석에서의 불확실성을 정량화하였다. 또한 자동차 충돌 변형량의 사진 계측에 대한 불확실성에 대해서도 해석 결과를 제시하였다. 이러한 통계학적 분포들은 사고 재구성 불확실성을 추정하기 위해 입력 계수의 적절한 범위를 결정하는 것을 도울 수 있다.

We have developed a planar impact model with a capability of reverse calculation to reconstruct various types of automobile collisions. This topic is the main part of what is referred to as accident reconstruction. The model uses the principle of impulse and momentum, and introduces a restitution coefficient and an impulse ratio at the impact center. Based on the car-to-car collision test results, we present how to estimate the restitution coefficient and the impulse ratio from some impact conditions. To validate the model and improve its reliability in accident analysis, the collision analysis has been performer with the estimated parameters. The analysis and experimental results agree well in the kinetic energy loss and the post-impact velocity.

The traffic accident is the prerequisite of the traffic accident reconstruction. In this study, the traffic accident (forward collision) and traffic accident reconstruction (inverse collision) simulations are conducted to improve the quality and accuracy of the traffic accident reconstruction. The vehicle and tire models are used to simulate the trajectories for the post-impact motion of the vehicles after collision. The impact dynamic model applicable to the forward and inverse collision simulations is also provided. The accuracy of impact analysis for the vehicular collision depends on the accuracy of the coefficients of restitution and friction. The neural network is used to estimate these coefficients. The forward and inverse collision simulations for the multi-collisions are conducted. The new method fur the accident reconstruction is proposed to calculate the pre-impact velocities of the vehicles without using the trial and error process which requires the repeated calculations of the initial velocities until the forward collision simulation satisfies with the accident evidences. This method estimates the pre-impact velocities of the vehicles by analyzing the trajectories of the vehicles. The vehicle slides on a road surface not only under the skidding during an emergency braking but also under the steering. A vehicle over steering or cornering with excessive speed loses the traction and leaves tile yaw marks on the road surface. The new critical speed formula based on the vehicle dynamics is proposed to analyze the yaw marks and shows smaller errors than ones of the existing critical speed formula.

This paper presents 3D collision deformation modelling methodologies using photogrammetry for reconstruction of vehicle accidents. A vehicle's deformation shape in collision provides important information on how the vehicle collided. So effective measurement(scanning) and construction of a corresponding appropriate model are essential in the analysis of collision deformation shape for obtaining much information related to collision accident. Two measurement methods were used in this study: Indirect-photogrammetry which requires relatively small amount of photos or videos, and direct-photogrammetry which requires large amount of photos directly taken for the purpose of 3D modelling. When the indirect-photogrammetry method, which was mainly used in this study, lacked enough photographic information, already secured 2D numerical deformation data was used as a compensation. This made 3D collision deformation modelling for accident reconstruction analysis possible.

This study was initiated to improve of the defect investigation method using event data recorders (EDR) and suggested a solution through the regulation and system analysis of EDR. The EDR data has been used for various purposes such as the vehicle defect investigation and the traffic accident investigation. However the EDR regulation has not been updated since the implementation in 2012. "Trigger Threshold" can be used to analyze a single accident such as the frontal crash, the side crash, and the rollover. In the case of a complex accident in which a rollover accident and a crash accident occur simultaneously, it is difficult to analyze a complex accident due to current "Trigger Threshold". This study proposed the method of separating the "Trigger Threshold" into a crash accident and a rollover accident so that accidents can be analyzed using the EDR data even when a complex accident occurs. In addition, it proposed the improvement method to quickly use the data of EDR in accident reconstruction software.

기존 보행자 충돌사고 분석모형식은 모형식에 따라 분석결과에 대한 오차가 크게 발생하여 실용성에 많은 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 본 연구는 충돌 후 보행자의 최종정지위치를 이용하여 차량충돌속도 및 보행자 충돌위치를 최적화방법으로 분석하는 기법을 개발하였다. 충돌 후 보행자의 동역학적 선회특성에 대한 분석은 승객거동 해석 프로그램인 MADYMO을 이용하여 모의충돌실험을 통해 분석하였다. 모의충돌실험을 통해 분석된 보행자 가슴 및 머리부위의 최종정지위치와 실제사고에서 보행자 머리 및 가슴부위의 최종정지위치와의 차를 목적함수로, 차량충돌속도와 보행자 충돌위치를 설계변수로 정의하여 이를 최소로 수렴하는 최적화 모형식을 정식화한 후 최적설계 전문 소프트웨어인 VisuaIDOC2 프로그램을 이용하여 반응표면 근사최적화기법으로 목적함수를 최소로 수렴하는 차량충돌속도 및 보행자 충돌위치를 분석기법을 개발하였다. 최적화기법을 이용한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 분석기법을 이용하여 차량충돌속도 및 보행자 충돌위치를 분석한 결과. 기존 분석모형식에 비해 분석 오차율이 매우 낮아 보다 정확하고 과학적인 분석기법인 것으로 연구결과 도출되었다. 따라서, 추후 보행자 충돌사고를 분석함에 있어 기존 분석모형식이 아닌 보행자 선회특성을 고려한 최적화기법을 이용하여 보다 신속하고 정확한 분석을 수행함으로써 사고당사간의 의견대립으로 인한 시간적, 경제적 비용의 최소화는 물론 사고관련자의 권익을 보호할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
