- From the summary of our recent 2011 paper:
- ...with respect to the field of highway safety, we see our work implementing a 3-dimensional collision and simulation model as an opportunity for another quantum leap into the future in the highway safety field. Our hope is that someday in the near future police and investigator applications will generate a large volume of high quality accident reconstruction data, including injury/exposure definitions, that can then used by NHTSA/NASS and other governmental agencies or researchers to serve to further guide improvements in highway safety.
