Uncertainty in Vehicle Collision Modeling - Selected Problems

Abstract

Road accidents which cause personal and material losses are inseparably connected with development of motorization. Currently, experts who provide assessment of vehicle accidents use simulation programs. The results of the assessments have an impact on legal procedures in court cases. However, experts are often unaware of simplifications in modeling and the possibility of comparing simulation results with the use of different models. In this work, problems connected with generation of different results for the same event by a program are discussed. The results can be used by researchers, program designers and experts in practice.
