Abstract :
Vehicles accidents are events that occur in the process of road traffic and lead to material and/or immaterial damages and in many cases to death of the road users. In this paper we propose and develop a Web based tool for analysis, visualization and animation of vehicle crash accidents. The method based on conservation of linear and angular momentum for the system of rigid bodies, combined with additional assumptions is used for modeling of the process of energy transfer between vehicles involved in the collision. Experimental model and calculations are made and X3D (eXtensible 3D) language is used for the Web based simulation.
