Selected Problems of Modelling of Vehicle Collision With a Pole

Road accidents and collisions are negative effects of automotive development.Should there be no possibility of identifying the offender at the scene, experts are appointed to perform the investigation.To reconstruct a collision, the experts use simulation programs and the expertise developed when applying the programs affects the outcome of court proceedings.Currently the analytical calculations have been replaced with computer programs the results of which the experts usually consider valid.The article investigates a problem of the simulation program generating different results for the same incident.The results can be used by researchers modelling the collisions of vehicles, vehicles with elements of road infrastructure and with pedestrians; the results are also used in applications.
