Couple NAPARS Facebbook Posts and i decided to do a quick illustration of what speed required for a motorcycle to spin a vehicle and what was the PDOF of the vehicle being spun.
Some Background on the crash:
- Topics from NAPARS Facebook page include: Bad Intersection and PDOF
- Google Maps Crash Location
News Stories on the crash:
- Google Maps Crash Location
Here's a sequential display: Here is a graph of the Car acceleration
- at the CG(in blue)and
- at the area of contact(x=-50", y=-30") (in Red)
- for the Center of Gravity (in Blue) and
- near the area struck on the vehicle (X=-50", Y=-30") (in Red):
- Top is for the CG
- Bottom has side by side comparison of DeltaV and Accelerations at CG and area of collision
- Left side Veh1 (car) Right side Veh2 (Motorcycle)
