Improper Lane change, two vehicle crash simulation (PC-Crash)
Tools used to create simulation
Simulation was produced with PC-Crash
Simulation was enhanced with 3D DXF files and models to improve environmental details, 3D vehicle model and animation rendering
Simulation was created by JPRI and posted on their YouTube channel, JPRI Crash Reconstructions.
Overall usefulness and accuracy of the simulation
Simulation is more of a demonstration of a potential incident rather than a reconstruction of real life accident
JPRI Crash Reconstructions is a leading statistical, engineering research and data analysis firm, specializing in automotive safety
JPRI have been conducting crash investigations since 2008
Simulation is a useful representation of a common car accident
Simulation showcases real world physics involved in the incident and the behavior of how the cars would act in this scenario
Showcases tire marks to show how the car hit reacted
Accident presentation/representation
Animation is clear and in high quality resolution
Simulation used real world car makes such as the Suzuki Swift seen
Simulation includes detailed surrounding environment and road to assist in making it more realistic
Simulation uses real world physics and input data to accurately showcase a car roll in this scenario
Limitations of this simulation
The speed of the default video is too fast, limiting careful analysis of the accident and important details such as initial impact zone
Simulation doesn't showcase vehicle damage attained
Simulation doesn't include driver, passengers or test dummies to showcase how they would act in this scenario
Simulation doesn't show interaction with the environment in the accident and instead the vehicle passes through it without damaging.
Doesn't show either vehicle velocity
Benefits of this simulation
Accurate representation of car roll physics
clear and easy for someone to understand what happened
realistic models and environment to help make the simulation relatable to a real world accident
Real word car makes
shows tire skid marks to help show post impact vehicle behavior
