2019 VEHICLE / PEDESTRIAN IMPACT VIRTUAL CRASH 4 SIMULATION https://www…

- - - - 360 degree videos can be made with or without stereoscopic virtual reality views with a mouse click
    - - Rigid body dynamics used in physics engine allows for extremely fast workflow
        
        Can instantly see the results of changing simulation inputs in real time with the ability to control steering and braking.
    - - Can chain together as many truck trailers as required for sim
  - - - Can create videos and diagrams in 4K, 5K, 6K, and 8K
    - - Truck-trailer impacts can be studied for dynamic load shifting
    - - The optimize feature to lets pedestrian move by kinematics, until the moment-of-impact.
        
        No more sagging and flopping of pedestrian when the simulation is started
    - - Custom roadways can be built in full 3-D and custom grades and crowns can be added to road surfaces
    - - Animated objects can interact with non-animated objects in simulation
      - Headlights, tail lights, street lights, emergency lights can be attached to any object
        
        Can add custom color patterns and other elements to vehicles, such as siren lights, push bumpers
  - - - Smart Heads-Up Display can place vehicle's speed and distance information anywhere within the playback window
        
        HUD boxes can be made to follow vehicles
  - - - Third party terrain mesh can be used with this tool
    - - All vehicles can be fully customised to match the overall size of the subject vehicles.
      - Inertial properties and wheel positions can be modified
- - - - No solution offered for investigator to use
- - - - Explore issues of accident liability and crash severity
    - - Analyse work-related incidents
    - - Quickly perform accident reconstruction analysis
        
        Create exhibits for mediation or trial
        
        Simulation calculations are "closed-form" equations from classical physics, so that solutions can be extremely easy to correlate with standard accident reconstruction methods
    - - Can study what-if scenarios and other hypotheticals
    - - Can simulate interactions of the human body within its environment
  - - - Validation of tool analyses through reconstruction of RICSAC 1, RICSAC 2, and RICSAC 3 from the crash test validation database Research Input for Computer Simulation of Automobile Collisions (RICSAC)
      - Multiple peer reviewed articles regarding tools validation
      - Jon Jacobson Ph.D. PE tool user validation
      - Virtual CRASH 2.2 used to reconstruct real world collision between a station wagon and a motorcycle. The accident was captured on video. Excellent agreement is observed between the video and simulation (courtesy of engineer Sarkozi Tamas of Hungary
