ATS is capable of creating realistic 3D simulations of traffic accidents using HVE, the state of the art in accident reconstruction software.

HVE stands for Humans, Vehicles & Environments

All simulation computation methods have been validated by government and independent tests. Published validation studies are available.

Capabilities
  • Create 3D models of virtually any automobile or truck, including its geometry, tires, suspension, brakes, drive train, and steering.
  • Create a 3D model of an accident scene and drive vehicles on the surface of the model.
  • Simulate a crash sequence involving any number of vehicles.
  • Simulate vehicle rollovers.
  • Simulate the effects of a tire blowout.
  • Simulate the response of vehicle occupants during a crash or rollover.
  • Simulate vehicle v. pedestrian accidents.
  • View simualtions from any angle.
  • Record simulations on videotape for presentation during trial, deposition, settlement conferences, etc.
  • Print hard copies of all input parameters and output data. Numerical output can be graphed to illustrate how a given parameter varies during the simulation.
