Motorcycles are a luxury in the developed world, where they are used mostly for recreation. Introduction to Motorcycle Accident Reconstruction.A case study is presented, demonstrating how the presented model can be applied to a collision involving a single motorcycle.įorensic science Biomechanics Kinematics Anthropometry Motorcycle accident reconstruction Next we determine rider trajectory, taking into consideration rider anthropometry and posture, results from which are used to derive impact velocity as a function of linear and angular components. In a motorcycle accident reconstruction, it is first important to understand the mechanisms by which a rider may be ejected from their motorcycle and how drag factors affect the motorcycle and rider independently. This model can also be applied to other activities, including cycling, equestrian sports, skiing, skating, running, etc. A biomechanical model to assess rider kinematics associated with motorcycle accidents is presented, which may be important to forensic scientists involved in the analysis of such events. Consequently, the biomechanical analysis of a motorcycle accident reconstruction is complex.
In a motorcycle accident, the motorcycle and rider typically become independent, each following their own path to final rest. The following is a peer-reviewed article on Motorcycle Accident Reconstruction, which was originally published in the Journal of Forensic Biomechanics in January 2016.Ĭ orresponding author: John D Lloyd, Research Director, BRAINS, Inc., 32824 Michigan Avenue San Antonio, Florida, 33576, USA, Tel: 81 Fax: 35 E-mail: Abstract
