Abstract:

Results from vehicle computer simulations usually take the form of numeric data or graphs. While these graphs provide the investigator with the insight into vehicle behavior, it may be difficult to use these graphs to assess complex vehicle motion. Computer based animation techniques can provide the user with a valid means of evaluating the vehicle overall motion, applicable environments and simulated maneuvers. This report describes the development and application of the Vehicle Animation Software (VAS) capable of animating the results from vehicle handling and rollover simulations and experimental tests. The computer simulations which can currently be animated using VAS include the IMIRS, ITRS and AVRM developed for NHTSA by Andrzej G. Nalecz and the University of Missouri-Columbia. The report includes the user's manual and technical report, and explains the required format for experimental data files which are to be animated. Animations produced by VAS software are suitable for presenting the results to audiences which are not acquainted with the technical details of the research but have an interest in the findings.
