ASPECTS REGARDING THE NUMERICAL MODELLING OF PEDESTRIAN-VEHICLE ACCIDENTS WHEN BOTH PARTIES HAVE CONTINUOUS VISIBILITY OF EACH OTHER IN TRAFFIC
Abstract
The results obtained are in a graphic form and they provide the opportunity to observe various stages of the incident. The numerical model developed like this can be applied to solve a large number of traffic incidents of this type – pedestrian-vehicle – in order to establish the dynamics of such incidents and at the same time to establish the human factor involved in them.
The computerised analysis has several advantages – the reduction of the calculation time, the possibility to simulate various incident situations, etc. – and it becomes a useful and needed instrument for technical experts and engineers who reconstruct traffic incidents and develop safety systems on vehicles.
Key words: vehicle, pedestrian, traffic incident, reciprocal visibility, human factor, numerical modelling.
