Accident reconstruction utilizes principles of physics and
empirical data to analyze the physical, electronic, video, audio,
and testimonial evidence from a crash, to determine how and why the
crash occurred, how the crash could have been avoided, or to
determine whose description of the crash is most accurate. This
process draws together aspects of mathematics, physics,
engineering, materials science, human factors, and psychology, and
combines analytical models with empirical test data. Different
types of crashes produce different types of evidence and call for
different analysis methods. Still, the basic philosophical approach
of the reconstructionist is the same from crash type to crash type,
as are the physical principles that are brought to bear on the
analysis. This book covers a basic approach to accident
reconstruction, including the underlying physical principles that
are used, then details how this approach and the principles are
applied when reconstructing motorcycle crashes. This second edition
of Motorcycle Accident Reconstruction presents a thorough,
systematic, and scientific overview of the available methods for
reconstructing motorcycle crashes. This new edition contains:
Additional theoretical models, examples, case studies, and test
data. An updated bibliography incorporating the newest studies in
the field. Expanded coverage of the braking capabilities of
motorcyclists. Updated, refined, and expanded discussion of the
decelerations of motorcycles sliding on the ground. A thoroughly
rewritten and expanded discussion of motorcycle impacts with
passenger vehicles. Updated coefficients of restitution for
collisions between motorcycles and cars. A new and expanded
discussion of using passenger car EDR data in motorcycle accident
reconstruction. A new section covering recently published research
on post-collision frozen speedometer readings on motorcycles. A new
section on motorcycle interactions with potholes, roadway
deterioration, and debris and expanded coverage of motorcycle
falls. This second edition of Motorcycle Accident Reconstruction is
a must-have title for accident reconstructionists, forensic
engineers, and all interested in understanding why and how
motorcycle crashes occur.
