Car ADR/EDR recorders – uncertainty of vehicle’s speed and trajectory determination
Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2010, Vol 22, Issue 2
Abstract
One of the basic tasks of the accident reconstruction is to define values of parameters of participants of the accident before its actual occurrence. The assessment of correct behaviours is made and the court decides whether the accident participants are guilty or innocent. Therefore, the credibility of specific values is essential. The use of socalled accident recorders – EDR/ADR type of devices, as an alternative compared to classical methods for accidents reconstruction – has become more common over the past years. The paper includes basic notions related to his type of devices, describes potential sources of uncertainty of the car motion reconstruction results obtained on the basis of their records. The examples presented confirm their usefulness, however, they also indicate possible significant errors in the motion parameters assessment if simplified devices are used (where vehicle body lean movements in motion are not analysed).

MODELLING OF EXPECTED TRAFFIC SMOOTHNESS IN URBAN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS FOR ITS SOLUTIONS
In urban networks, with dense traffic flows and a high risk of the disruption (even in the form of a short queue of vehicles) the probability of occurrence of such a situation (disruption and queue) is a better measure o...
INFLUENCE OF ANTI-FOAMING ADMIXTURE ON FROST RESISTANCE AND POROSITY CHARACTERISTIC OF SELF-COMPACTING CONCRETE
For the decreasing of too high air volume in SCC, application of anti-foaming admixture (AFA) is proposed. In effect, AFA is increasing mix flow diameter and decreasing the flow time. Moreover, the workability loss is lo...
