Abstract

The Simulation Model of Automobile Collisions (SMAC) computer program is developed for the purpose of achieving uniformity in the use of analytical techniques for interpretation of physical evidence in investigations of highway accidents. The analytical approach is outlined, and specific assumptions are defined. Comparisons are presented between analytical predictions and results of staged collisions. Computer graphic displays of reconstructed accidents, including rest positions, tracks, and damage, are presented.
