Abstract
The paper highlights that the process of analysis and reconstruction of car crashes is defined by great complexity and by the existence of multiple parametric, functional and running uncertainties. This complexity is due to some difficulty regarding mathematical description of showing, as real as possible, the automotive impact phenomenon, and automotive kinematics and dynamics. The complexity of analysis and reconstruction increases when driving comes along with side-slip, unequal braking forces, pitching movement, objects dis-mission, wheels locking, tires burst or it is influenced by multiple collisions with fixed obstacles or with other vehicles. In the paper there are presented and applied concepts and algorithms used in the analysis and reconstruction of car crashes, which belong to technical mechanics, systems theory, uncertainty theory, intervals analysis, automotive mechanics, signal theory. Likewise, there are analysed main mathematical models that are currently used for the analysis and reconstruction of car crashes. Within the paper there are presented examples of reconstruction for car crashes occurred on public road.
