BASIC COLLISION INVESTIGATIONCOURSE OUTLINE 4. SWITRS a. The data collection tools and methods must be uniform to produce meaningful statistics. b. The Long Form Report (CHP 555) is the standard reporting tool the Bakersfield Police Department uses to report statistic to the State. 5. SWITRS a. The method and procedure for collecting and submitting the data elements of a collision are published in the Collision Investigation Manual (CIM). V. Skidmarks/Tiremarks Identification a. Skidmarks i. A mark left on the road surface, or any surface, by a wheel in a skid. The term “skidmark” includes all evidence of skidding, such as scuffing of a concrete road surface, even if no rubber is left behind.

  • Pavement Skid-Resistance Measurements and Analysis in The
    Pavement Skid Resistance Measurement and Analysis in the Forensic Context C.C.O.Marks Pavement Skid Resistance Measurement and Analysis in the Forensic Context Christopher C. O’N. Marks Managing Director, Marks and Associates Limited ABSTRACT Skid resistance measurement and analysis is now a routine procedure in motor vehicle crash analysis. In fact it was one of the earliest investigative and analytical tools used for this work. Many different measurement methods are in common use, including: visual estimation assisted by friction tables; various dragged devices with friction force measurement and instrumented vehicle skid-to-rest testing, the last having become the preferred alternative for many investigators over the past decade or so. The skid resistance measurement devices at present commonly used by traffic engineers for pavement condition monitoring and maintenance intervention, such as SCRIM, ROAR, Griptester and the British Pendulum, are only rarely used for forensic purposes in New Zealand although in some other countries these may be applied as a routine procedure during crash-scene investigations. The interpretation and analysis of the results obtained by skid resistance measurement in the forensic context may seem to be an obvious process but it is not always straightforward. Uncertainties exist and there is considerable scope for fundamental error. The latter is of significant concern, given the potential adverse consequences of an analyst presenting flawed expert testimony in Court. This paper examines the most common skid resistance measuring methods used for forensic purposes and discusses the interpretation and analysis of the results obtained, the uncertainties involved and the expression of expert opinion in Court.

  • A Line-Based Skid Mark Segmentation System Using Image-Processing Methods
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Transportation Research Part C 16 (2008) 390–409 www.elsevier.com/locate/trc A line-based skid mark segmentation system using image-processing methods Ying-Wei Wang a,*, Chao-Nan Lin b a Department of Marketing and Logistics Management, National Penghu University, 300 Liu-Ho Rd., Makung, Penghu 880, Taiwan, ROC b Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering, Da-Yeh University, Changhua, Taiwan, ROC Abstract We developed a line-based skid mark segmentation and measurement system to solve issues related to randomness from pavement texture and measurement subjectivity at car accident scenes. The system was designed to operate along the longer straight lines that exist in boundaries between skid marks and pavement at the scene of an accident. The operational system consists of two processes: preprocessing and feature extraction. Preprocessing steps include skid mark positioning, slope angle detection, and segmentation, whereas feature extraction involves detecting light striations, striation segmenta- tion, and calculating the widths of striations from images. Experimental validation and objective measurements illustrate that this system saves operation time and cost while performing with accuracy similar to that of manual methods. Ó 2007 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Keywords: Skid mark; Segmentation; Accident scene; Tire tread; Accident investigation 1. Introduction Tire mark data provide important evidence in the investigation of car accidents. The types/patterns, length, and location of tire marks at the scene can be used to reconstruct drivers’ behavior, collision points, vehicle heading, minimum speeds before collision, post-collision trajectories, etc. In addition, tire mark data can be used to identify the types of tires involved in a hit-and-run accident and thereby reduce the scope of the investigation.

  • Dynamic Model Formulation and Calibration for Wheeled Mobile Robots
    Dynamic Model Formulation and Calibration for Wheeled Mobile Robots Neal A. Seegmiller CMU-RI-TR-14-27 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Robotics. The Robotics Institute Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 Thesis Committee: Alonzo Kelly (Chair) David Wettergreen George Kantor Karl Iagnemma Defended on: October 23, 2014 Copyright c 2014 Neal A. Seegmiller Keywords: wheeled mobile robots, kinematics, dynamics, wheel slip, wheel-terrain interac- tion, calibration, model identification, motion planning, model predictive control dedicated to my parents, who supported my academic pursuits from the beginning iv Abstract Advances in hardware design have made wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) ex- ceptionally mobile. To fully exploit this mobility, WMR planning, control, and es- timation systems require motion models that are fast and accurate. Much of the published theory on WMR modeling is limited to 2D or kinematics, but 3D dynamic (or force-driven) models are required when traversing challenging terrain, executing aggressive maneuvers, and manipulating heavy payloads. This thesis advances the state of the art in both the formulation and calibration of WMR models We present novel WMR model formulations that are high-fidelity, general, mod- ular, and fast. We provide a general method to derive 3D velocity kinematics for any WMR joint configuration. Using this method, we obtain constraints on wheel- ground contact point velocities for our differential algebraic equation (DAE)-based models. Our “stabilized DAE” kinematics formulation enables constrained, drift- free motion prediction on rough terrain. We also enhance the kinematics to predict nonzero wheel slip in a principled way based on gravitational, inertial, and dissi- pative forces.
