Motion of collision-involved automobiles has two phases, namely, collision itself where predominant force is due to impact, and post-collision where vehicle motion is essentially governed by two-dimensional dynamics of rigid bodies with external retarding force by tire friction; it was found by dimensional analysis that vehicle motion during and after collisions may be studied with scale models in lieu of full-size automobiles; scale models were designed to exhibit same coefficients of restitution and friction between vehicle bodies in collision and same coefficient of friction of tire on test surface as full-size automobiles.
