Summary:

Due to the increasing number of minivans and sport utility vehicles, rollovers have become more significant. As a result, various accident reconstruction programs have been developed to address this issue.To reconstruct rollover crashes, various requirements have to be fulfilled. These consist of:This study focuses on one program, PC-CRASH. This program was developed to allow simulations of vehicle 3-dimensional movements before, during and after the impact. The study also discusses the physical background of the models, their capabilities as well as their limitations. One rollover example is provided, The model was validated using crash test data
