Methods Of Reconstructing Motorcycle Collisions Have Traditionally Been Limited To Speed From Skid Marks, Speeds From Scrapes Or Gouges, Speed From Rider Ejection, Speed From Linear Momentum, Or Sometimes Speed From Witness Observations. Oftentimes, The Data Necessary For Analysis Is Either Misunderstood Or Misinterpreted. This Paper Tests The Applicability Of Using Rotational Mechanics And Specific Models For Motorcycle Front Fork Deformation And Vehicle Deformation When Determining Motorcycle Impact Velocity. Additionally, The Results Of These Methods Are Statistically Tested For Significance And Reliability Against Independent Motorcycle Impact Test Data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
