Abstract:
Road traffic accidents are the main issue in terms of public safety among Romania and Europe. Reconstructionists aim to ease their work and to offer results as exact as possible, by using a variety of reconstruction methods, from numerical modelling to software simulations of the collisions in which vehicles are involved. Depending on the conditions of a road traffic event, several methodologies can be used, with proper validation. However, the national legal frameworks may be considered as barriers in using a large variety of reconstruction methods. Therefore, this area of research should be further developed, in order to enlarge experts’ choice, especially in the context of rapid development of the automobile industry.
