1 Number, Volume V, July 0 DETERMNNG THE SPEED OF VEHCLES BEFORE AND AFTER CRASH Bayarjaral Tseveennamjil, Anon Hudák, Vladimír Rievaj 3 Summary: Te aricle is represenin ypical example of cras analyical soluion. Tere are presenin basic principles and eir calculaions in e area of veicle moion durin e acciden. Key words: Cras, Analyical soluion, Traffic safey. NTRODUCTON n road raffic accidens occur on a differen ype. is a veicle crases - a barrier, e veicle - pedesrian, veicle - veicle, or a combinaion ereof. Afer impac, e movemen of veicles varies. n order o deermine e acciden, i is imporan o know e facs on wic i is deermined by e iniial speed of e veicle. Te impac is acion were e inerfacin of wo or more bodies in e sor erm sinificanly cane velociy a leas one of e bodies. We alk abou e process of mecanical acion of lare forces a sor noice. n is process e speed of poin objecs are caned. is obvious a e size of e common conac area is canin oo durin e life of caracer.. CENTRC MPACT mpac force direcion is line perpendicular o e oucpad, wic passes rou cener of raviy of is area. Has e same direcion as e impac force. mpac force is divided accordin o e posiion of impac force: o CENTRC MPACT - occurs wen e impac force direcion passes rou e ceners of raviy of inerfacin bodies o ECCENTRC MPACT - occurs wen e impac force direcion do no raverse rou e ceners of raviy of inerfacin bodies. CENTRC MPACT could be: srai line impac - velociy vecors lie on e same line as a impac force direcion, Mr. Bayarjaral Tseveennamjil, Univerziy of Zilina, Faculy of Operaion and Economics of ranspor and Communicaions, Deparmen of Road and Urban Transpor, Univerziná, 00 6 Žilina, Tel.: , bajra@fpedas.uniza.sk, n., Anon Hudák, PD., Univerziy of Zilina, Faculy of Operaion and Economics of ranspor and Communicaions, Deparmen of Road and Urban Transpor, Univerziná, 00 6 Žilina, Tel.: , anon.udak@fpedas.uniza.sk, 3 doc., n., Vladimír Rievaj, PD., Univerziy of Zilina, Faculy of Operaion and Economics of ranspor and Communicaions, Deparmen of Road and Urban Transpor, Univerziná, 00 6 Žilina, Tel.: , vladimir.rievaj@fpedas.uniza.sk, Tseveennamjil, Hudák, Rievaj: Deerminin e Speed of Veicles before and afer Cras 55

Durin e wo pases of impac force increasin o e maximum unil an equal velociy of bo veicles will be reaced, en decreases o zero. As defined by Newon e impac of bodies can be divided ino bo pases: compression and resiuion.. Compression pase Consequence of impac force increasin is body deformaion (ram pars of veicles a e impulse poin are idenical. Te ceners of raviy of ineraced veicles are erefore muc closer. Compression pase ends a e momen e car body deformaion reaces a maximum "value. A is sae, e kineic enery is convered ino a car deformaion work.. Pase of resiuion - bein from e momen of maximum deflecion and e ime separaion. n is par of e deformaion enery convered ino kineic enery of e car, e disance beween e axes of cars is increasin and bodies (veicles) are ryin o resore is oriinal sape. Because e maerials ave cerain pysical caracerisics, complee sape recovery does no occurs. Afer e cras remains a permanen deformaion. is imporan o define e cane in impac sren over ime, wic is e impulse impac sren. mpac force decreases and e velociy of e veicles are differen. r R FRd RK + RR () 0 RK - mpulse impac sren in compression pase [N] RR - mpulse impac sren in pase of resiuion [N] K R R F R - compression pase ime [s] - resiuion pase ime [s] - mpac ime, k + R [s] - mpulse impac sren [N] - mpac sren [N].. Coefficien of Resiuion Te raio of impac sren RR pulse applied o e body in resiuion o e sae of mpulse impac sren RK forces acin on e body a e sae of compression is called e coefficien of resiuion known k. Due o elasiciy of e veicle srucure, e wo veicles will separae aain. Te coefficien of resiuion is defined as raio beween resiuion RR and compression RK impulse.

3 Number, Volume V, July 0 Te idenificaion of coefficiens of resiuion in veicle o veicle collisions is impracical since eac veicle o veicle combinaion as is unique resiuion response. Veicle o barrier coefficiens of resiuion can be measured for specific veicles. Coefficiens of resiuion beween wo veicles for wic e veicle o barrier coefficiens of resiuion are known may be prediced. Expressed in a more useful and more common form, e coefficien of resiuion k is e raio of e pos (afer)-impac separain velociy v a of e collidin bodies o eir (before) pre-impac closin velociy v b - v b. k v v a a (3) b v v b v a - Te coefficien of resiuion varies from zero for a perfecly plasic impac o uniy for a perfecly elasic collision, and as been sown o depend upon e impac velociy and e sape and size of e collidin bodies. Te coefficien of resiuion lies in e rane beween 0. and 0.3 in real veicle o veicle collisions. Bumper-o-bumper collisions a low closin velociy are primarily elasic. Te bumpers deform o some deree durin impac and en rebound o nearly eir pre-impac condiion, coefficien of resiuion values ier an 0,3. Teoreically, ere may be e followin cases:. k, elemens are compleely flexible - ere is perfecly elasic caracer. k0, perfecly plasic caracer 3. Pracically, e coefficien of resiuion in e rane 0 <k <, i is an imperfec elasic caracer - e mos common case Based on e eory of mpac is possible o deermine e speed of moor veicles before and afer e collision of e: law on e conservaion of linear momenum, conservaion of enery, oer laws of pysics..

Te acciden record is no indicaion as o e brakin disance of e lorry (). Te driver in e noice says a before e cras e could no pus e brake pedal, wic, accordin o calculaions is no rue. Based on e observed daa we conclude a e lorry () is ampered and wen free moion afer e cras in e final posiion. is impossible o inore esimony of e lorry driver () on is brakes.
