SIMULATION METHOD IN PC CRASH USING POINT CLOUD FILES

The aim of this paper intend to familiarize the reconstructions experts with the new technic of using for simulations of the accidents the 3D point clouds scans. In the new version of PC Crash (software program for accident reconstruction) this facility is already working, as it was been implemented from the version 10.1. The main advantages of using these scans are in the reference with the precision of the simulation process. Also as far as we can appreciate the result of the simulation is quite close to the real situation in the field of the crime scene. One of the main advantages of using this method it is represented by the possibility of a good and a fine appreciation of the deformed line of the car profile which conducts to a good evaluation of the total energy consumed in the impact by calculating the EES (energy equivalent speed) the parameter with crash 3 and Burg methods.
