Reconstruction of Rollover Collision Using PC Crash 11.1 and 3D Scanner

The fundamentals of accident reconstruction are applied to rollover collisions. Typical deceleration rates, roll distances and vehicle deformations are discussed. The reconstruction of rollover accidents is complex due to the infinite variety of important parameters such as ground geometry, vehicle characteristics, speeds and objects encountered. Although each rollover collision is unique, there are some common features. This paper presents, starting for the real case, the reconstruction of a rollover accident using the PC Crash 11.1 program. For a faithful reconstruction of road accident, a 3D scanner was used in order to establish the geometry of the place of the road accident. The impacts the vehicle has to the ground may be described by number of rolls, number of ground impacts, ground impact severity and vehicle damage.
