COMPUTER GRAPHICS DISPLAY OF SIMULATED TRACTOR MOTION

Interactive computer graphics display of simulated tractor motion enable the investigator to predict time and location of impact points during overturn. General motion studies can be made which give the illusion of real overturns. Response to steering directions and operator timing suggest optimum evasive maneuvers when encountering a ditch bank.
