Visualization Aids and Traffic Accident Reconstruction
The objective of traffic accident reconstruction is to simulate the scene and event of an accident; therefore people have an idea how did it happen. Nowadays investigators use site survey data, photos taken from the scene, injury and autopsy reports and witness transcripts to conduct their investigation. It's difficult to integrate all these data and reconstruct the sequence of occurrence events. This article proposes an innovative method to interpret traffic accidents. Document such as site survey data, GIS data, and information from police were used. Furthermore, developing investigation techniques shall have the features of reliability and practicality that lead individual evidences to present consistent analysis result. Later on by conducting factual report verification, occurrence analysis and accident conclusion, a simulation of animation is provided for stakeholders. People will have visualization aids and know what happened and how it happened. Thus lessons learned will be provided to the public and prevent recurrence of similar accidents.
