Vehicle Accident Analysis and Reconstruction Methods

A concerted goal of this book is to raise the analytical level of accident reconstruction practice such that commonly known scientific, engineering, and mathematical methods increasingly become a more common part of the field. Intended for seasoned practitioners and those entering the field of accident reconstruction, the topical coverage is aimed at the problems reconstructionists encounter from day to day and the types of methods used. Readers are guided through a multitude of practical, useful, and informative examples that show how, when, and why many of these problems occur - key requirements for designing safer vehicles, handling insurance claims, and litigating court cases.
