Abstract

Resolution of the tire marks left by a vehicle after skidding and /or yawing on dry asphalt were experimentally studied for their similarities and differences under controlled test conditions. This paper analyses the results of this study and shows pictorially the differences for use by the accident reconstructionist. Analytical discussions are also presented that illustrate speed determination as estimated from yaw markings on the roadway.
