The project focuses on researching modern methods for documenting and analysing vehicle damage resulting from traffic accidents. Its objective was to evaluate the applicability of various technologies and procedures for recording vehicle deformations, validate their use in practice, and create expert resources for more accurate accident reconstruction.
A key component of the project was the creation and update of a catalogue of characteristic vehicle damage patterns based on collected data. This catalogue serves as an important tool for forensic experts, accident investigators, and other professionals involved in traffic accident analysis.
The project addresses increasing demands for accuracy and objectivity in accident investigations. Improved vehicle damage documentation enables more reliable input data for expert assessments and enhances the interpretation of accident scenarios. As a result, the project contributes to greater legal certainty for accident participants and can help accelerate judicial and insurance claim processes.
The project outputs also include a professional publication summarising the findings and recommendations for practical application. The project contributes to the advancement of forensic engineering, road safety, and the modernisation of methodologies used in traffic accident investigations.
The project is carried out by Transport Research Centre (CDV).
