Evaluating traffic parameters of vehicles according to registrars when conducting automotive research

Abstract

The main tendencies in developing the methods of evaluating vehicles movement according to registrars when conducting automotive research of road accidents are considered. It is noted that modern video recorders, in addition to the standard recording of events in the form of video, have additional functions of recording the parameters of traffic, which allows more objective and in-depth investigation of the circumstances of road accidents. Goal. The aim of the work is development of the method of obtaining quantitative data that allow to estimate the parameters of vehicle movement on video recordings made with the help of DVR MiVue-j85. Methodology. Theoretical data of the functionality of the MiVue-j85 video recorder were verified and analyzed during the real experiment. The study includes an analysis of quantitative data to assess the parameters of vehicle movement on video recordings made using a video recorder MiVue-j85. Results. It is noted that this method currently has a number of disadvantages, which are the imperfect system of synchronization, display and recording of the received data using software designed for the DVR. The presence of integrated in the DVR GPS-navigation and G-sensor, make it possible to determine the parameters of the vehicle and the coordinates of the location of the vehicle in the process of changing its dynamics, but with a significant error that does not meet the requirements of accident research. Originality. For the first time, the method of obtaining vehicle motion parameters using a video recorder with a built-in G-sensor is shown. Practical value. The obtained results can be used in practice in the study of the circumstances of the accident. Application of the certain method will allow facilitating the process of reception of initial data, namely the parameters of vehicle movement when studying road accidents.
