The authors, on the basis of analysis of growing motorization, particularly at the regional level (using the example of Penza region of the Russian Federation) confirm the urgency of the tasks of preserving life and health of road users, note changes in frequency of accidents of various origin, the positive role of insurance instruments in dealing with the consequences of road traffic accidents.At the same time, fraud in the field of compulsory motor third party liability insurance (MTPL) is one of the most important and urgent issues for insurance companies. One of the most common schemes of fictitious accidents is an attempt to get repair or replacement of existing damage at the expense of the insurer. In this regard, the use of transport trace evidence examinations has become widespread.It is this type of transport expertise that reliably and accurately determines conformity of damage to vehicles to the mechanism and circumstances of a road traffic accident. Trace evidence analysis is always assigned when it comes to currently notorious «staged crash». It is impossible to understand the nature of accidents associated with lane change by vehicles moving along the way without study of trace materials. Particularly many problems arise in a situation where both participants in the accident claim that they were moving without changing the direction of movement, and that was the opponent who made a maneuver of lane change not complying with the requirement of the road traffic rules of the Russian Federation on priorities in traffic movement.As an example, the article presents an expert study of a road traffic accident that raised doubts about reliability of circumstances set out by policyholders.
[For the English abstract and full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version)].ABSTRACT In dealing with issues related to investigation and examination of road accidents, preference is usually given to measurements and quant i tat ive assessments, while qualitative analysis and assessment are allowed. When carrying out expert studies, the source of the initial data is the results of an inspection of the place of the road accident, inspection of vehicles, photographs, diagrams showing traces and other objects bearing information about the event. The actions of experts should help to increase the volume of information (re-examination, experimental modeling of tracks, request for additional data). The article deals with theoretical aspects of expert heuristics, including purposes and possibilities of examination, the types of process models and their constituent elements. Examples of heuristic conclusions are presented in the analysis of damage to vehicles resulting from of road accidents. Keywords: road, road accident, expertise, heuristics, damage to vehicles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
