The paper describes the development of a computer model that can provide users with the general tool for the analyses of the energy terms associated with ground-base vehicles moving downhill. The tool is general in that it is applicable to various vehicles (trains, tractor-trailer trucks, small tracks, automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, atc.) but under restricted conditions it is applicable (via minor changes) to particular objects (e.g. skiers or rolling objects). The model uses an energy approach and results can be presented in a number of forms. The model for analyses of the energy terms associated with ground-based vehicles moving downhill was applied to a runaway truck example to determine the reasons behind a particular trucking accident. The model clearly showed that the accident could have been avoid if all the brakes had been connected or if a trained operator had been aware of the brake problem.
