In this study, the authors investigated the effectiveness of using a computer simulation for a traffic accident. The accident being simulated was a highway head-on collision caused by a tire blowout on a truck. The accident was investigated in great detail through observing the behavior of the vehicles by reconstructing the accident using various data collected, of which included skid marks left on the road and damage of the vehicles from the computer founded data. Furthermore, the circumstances of the accident were reconstructed in animation to included view of those persons involved (drivers, eye witness) and the efficacy of the accident was examined through the computer simulation.
