The method of accident reconstruction according to the parameters of the braking process of M1 category vehicle under the conditions of the North-West region

Abstract

Abstract The article analyzes the number of accidents and measures that implement the reduction of mortality on the roads. The authors proposed a set of factors that must be taken into account when reconstructing an accident according to the parameters of the braking process of M1 category vehicles, such as: the actual load of the vehicle, modern complexes of car active safety systems (ABS, EBD, ASR, BAS), a trailer of up to 750 kg, the condition of the road surface coverage and seasonality of tires in the conditions of the North-West region. The results of experimental studies of the actual values of the steady-state deceleration and its rise time are presented, confirming the regularity of the influence of the studied factors. Coefficients have been developed that correct the recommended normative values of steady-state deceleration and rise time. The method of accident reconstruction according to the parameters of the braking process of M1 category vehicles is proposed, which allows more objective and reliable expert research and provides the ability to establish real cause-effect relationships for the occurrence of accident.
