Sažetak
Currently, there are quite a lot of incorrect procedures and mistakes that occur in theforensic area, which lacks analytical approaches toward solving the causes of accidents using s–tdiagrams (distance–time diagrams) combined with the software simulation applications. Whenanalyzing accidents, the correct information is of key importance. The aim of this article is todefine a new specific technical and analytical approach toward handling expert’s reports on trafficaccidents in road transport at intersections, with respect to the traffic lights. A simulation programapplication is used as a progressive means of accident evaluation. This procedure must become astandard in the methods of modern traffic accident analysis. The application of this methodology withsimulation tools for accident reconstruction enables one to perform a very precise analysis of trafficaccidents. Mutual space and time relationships of vehicles’ movements have been evaluated here, depending upon the intersection signal plan. To demonstrate the methodology, a real case is usedhere, reconstructed by means of the complex analytical simulation software PC-Crash. A procedureprocessed by these means can be beneficial for forensic traffic accident analysis.
