The CRASH III computer model uses physical evidence, such as various vehicle parameters and vehicle damage measurements, to reconstruct highway accidents. When damage measurements are used in a reconstruction, the model assumes a set of stiffness parameters which represent the resistance to crush for a group of vehicles. The set of parameters assumed is dependent on both the type of impact (frontal, side, or rear) and the type of vehicle(s) in the reconstruction. In the current model, stiffness parameters for passenger cars are categorized by wheelbase. The report is divided into two volumes. Reported in Volume I are the results of an investigation which explored the possibility of another categorization method producing CRASH III results that are more reliable than those from the current method. Correlations were done to determine if any of the standard vehicle parameters, such as curb weight, length, width, etc., relate to the damage a vehicle sustains in a collision.
