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. In the current model, stiffness parameters for passenger cars are categorized by wheelbase. The report describes the results of a study done to derive new side stiffness parameters for the CRASH III model.
