Traffic Accident Simulation and Animation
Submitting Author: Dr. Mohamed Abdel-Aty
Abstract:
The objective fo this research is to present a methodology to supplemement th conventional traffic safety analysis techniques. This methodology aims at using computer simulation to animate and visualize accident occurrence at high-risk locations. It aids into developing the appropriate safety countermeasures for high-risk location (e.g., intersection, curves, ramps). A computer accident simulation and animation program has been developed. The program includes many features including accident detection, location, vehicle, and anomation attributes. The program has the ability to animate accidents at specific highway location based on the configuration of this location, which is entered by the user.
