The main purpose of this study is to develop graphics appropriate to an automobile accident simulator . The graphics implementation of the dynamics is to be developed to aid various and different observers , investigators or students in developing an understanding of the accident events . The simulator will be used to graphically display a traffic accident that occurred about a mile east of Farwell , Texas , on U .S . 60 at about 3 :30 a .mu on January 21 , 1994 [2 , 15] . The accident resulted in the deaths of three young men . The development of the simulation will be acconq )hshed through the use of a mathematical model that simulates the effects of a collision between two vehicles . The mathematical model that is used in this simulation is based on physical laws , but is greatly simplified . |
