“…DeLays [5] used HVOSM to study rollover potential related to embankments. Day [6] simulated vehicle rollover during a driver correction maneuver on a highway median. 1995 FARS data [7] show that vehicle rollover was the first harmful event in 3294 fatal crashes (8.8 percent of all fatal crashes), and a subsequent event in an additional 6578 fatal crashes (17.7 percent).…”

EDVSM is a 3-dimensional vehicle simulator developed for the HVE simulation environment. The EDVSM vehicle model was based on the original HVOSM model, developed at Calspan for the Federal Highway Administration. This paper describes the vehicle and tire models used by EDVSM. The basic model is unchanged from the original HVOSM model, however, tire-road modeling has been substantially improved by the model's integration into the HVE environment. This paper provides the details of the integration procedure. The paper also includes a validation study, comparing results between EDVSM, HVOSM and real-world handling studies. Comparison reveals the results are substantially similar. Finally, applications and limitations of the model are addressed. THE HVOSM COMPUTER PROGRAM was developed during the late sixties and early seventies as a means to help vehicle safety researchers study the effect of vehicle and highway design on occupant safety [1,2,3] * . PURPOSEThis paper describes a new, HVE-compatible version of the HVOSM program, called EDVSM (Engineering Dynamics Vehicle Simulation Model [8]). The purpose of this paper is to describe EDVSM and to compare it to the program 970958

“…Improvements to the EDVSM model are necessary to allow its use for rollover crashes that result in the vehicle's upside down body contacting the earth. 6. Enhancements to the EDVSM tire model are suggested in order to provide more robust modeling of curbs and deformable soils.…”

Through investigating the progress of domestic and international traffic simulation systems, we constructed the simulation model of vehicle movement during traffic accident after analyzing the one-dimensional and two-dimensional collision image of the accident vehicle impact. In a virtual simulation based on the theory of OpenGL technology, we built a three-dimensional simulation model for reading, displaying and controlling. Meanwhile, we developed a road traffic scene and vehicle simulation of three-dimensional animation. Finally, we elaborated a whole system from the overall design and structure, and briefly introduced the system in the actual application of traffic simulation.

Forensic injury biomechanics is the science that relates mechanical forces to disruption of anatomical regions of the human body. In this review, we introduce (a) how scaling techniques can be used to describe injury severity and probability of death; (b) how a simple ratio, the factor of risk, and more sophisticated injury risk functions can be used to determine the probability of injury; and (c) how injury criteria (also known as tolerance limits) are defined for the head and neck. Methods for establishing injury causation are then illustrated by real-world examples drawn from litigation involving motor vehicle collisions and slips, trips and falls. Those factors that distinguish litigation from basic and applied research are also discussed, including the criteria for admissibility of expert opinions and the level of certainty used as the basis for these opinions. The criteria that must be met to support opinions on causation at both epidemiological and individual levels are also noted. If the expert appreciates the difference between the demands of ligation and those of basic and applied research, expert opinion can play a crucial role in the decision-making process that characterizes litigation. Because forensic injury biomechanics is central to opinions on injury causation, and because causation is often the key to determinations of who is at fault, forensic injury biomechanics can be the deciding factor in many personal injury, products and premises liability, wrongful death, and criminal cases.
