Abstract

With the development of the computer simulation technology and the digital simulation technology, the traditional calculation method has been gradually replaced by the digital method to deal the road traffic accident scene and analyse the process. The PC-Crash software simulation system can reconstruct the traffic accidents within 32 vehicles, and the accuracy of reconstruction has been fully verified, which is widely used by the transport police department and the accreditation agency. In this paper, the research of road traffic accident reconstruction using PC-Crash software is reviewed, and the application of road traffic accident reconstruction technology based on PC-Crash software and some existing problems in forensic practice are discussed, which provides reference for the research and identification of road traffic accident simulation and reconstruction and theoretical basis for accident treatment.

Keywords: PC-Crash software; accident reconstruction; accidents, traffic; automobile collision; forensic pathology; review.
