Motions of Passenger Cars in Low-Speed Falls Over Embankments

CODEN: JFSCAS

Abstract

An analysis of the dynamics of motions of passenger cars in falls over embankments at speeds less than that required to launch a car into a free-fall trajectory is developed in this paper as an aid in evaluating initial vehicle speed in this particular type of crash involved in the forensic science field of accident reconstruction.
