Abstract
The traffic crash scene is a treasure house. Traffic accident reconstructors often use collision traces to recognize the relative height, angle and energy intensity of the two objects in collision through identification, comparison and physical methods. They trace back to the initial state to achieve the goal of the scene reconstruction. The relative hardness or strength of the contact surfaces of the two objects almost determines the facts that can be explained by the traces. Taking two small passenger vehicles of the same specification as an example, the strength of the steel plate, the structure of the car body or the thickness of the car paint are similar. In the event of a collision, the kinetic energy of the collision with each other will present considerable vehicle damage trace evidence. Therefore, some researchers have established a vehicle damage reference database to provide case study. As for the study of the collision between passenger cars and pedestrians, the relative hardness or strength of the two is quite different. It is only recently that the live video and medical jurisprudence are used to create patterns. This case is an accident involving a collision between a passenger car and a locomotive. The collision speed is less than 10 kilometers. There is almost no damage. The locomotive rider was injured by bruises and multiple blunt injuries. The two parties settled with N.T. 5,000 and made a signature record. But a week later, the rider was hospitalized because of wound ulceration and claimed to have a sore leg. After three months, she proposed criminal telling and civil telling compensation more than N.T. 580,000. Police did not arrive at the scene to take evidence. The researchers based on the evidence provided by the car driver, including: driving images, ground posture, wounds, the scene environment, and the solution of the bookmarks, can play a role in reasoning the facts, and even prove that the rider was impaired driving. This study analyzes the on-site investigation and the identification of injuries and traces of this accident. The results of the use in court provide a reference for the forensic community.
