Abstract
The article deals with the possibility of estimating vehicle speed in pedestrian collision cases using various approaches, including forensic medical, energy-based, and classical methods of automotive expert examination.
Particular attention is paid to modern approaches for estimating vehicle speed based on the pedestrian throw distance and the dimensions of windshield damage resulting from impact with the pedestrian's head.
The synthesis of contemporary experience in estimating vehicle speed during pedestrian collisions provides an opportunity to develop a unified approach to this issue and establish appropriate methodological guidelines.
The developed methodological guidelines define the general provisions, principles, and methods recommended for determining vehicle speed in pedestrian collisions. The application of these guidelines ensures that automotive expert examinations are conducted on a unified methodological basis, while guaranteeing the reliability, accuracy of evidence, and objectivity of the results.
The proposed methodological approaches establish the general principles for conducting expert investigations to estimate vehicle speed in pedestrian collision cases.
