On October 26, AutoCrash brought together industry professionals in Bologna for an engaging seminar on road accident reconstruction and injury analysis. This event was an exciting opportunity for experts to dive into the latest technologies and updates of the AutoCrash Platform, designed to streamline accident assessment for both experts and insurance providers. With a full day of expert presentations and practical demonstrations, attendees explored innovative solutions that set new standards in incident analysis.
Opening Insights: The AutoCrash Platform
The day began with a presentation by Engineer Filippo Begani, the project coordinator, who introduced the core features of AutoCrash Platform. His presentation covered the Platform's essential aspects, including incident registration, data exchange between consultants, and the Platform's main features. The goal? To facilitate and streamline the management and analysis of incidents, creating a more efficient and integrated workflow for industry professionals.
Understanding Injury Analysis with AIS Codes and Iso-Severity Curves
One of the day’s most insightful sessions was led by by Dr. Raniero Becucci and Professor Engineer Monica Meocci. They led the attendees through the importance of AIS codes for injury identification and iso-severity curves, essential for assessing injury probability. Through these methods, it’s possible to obtain a more accurate evaluation of injury severity and improve decision-making in claims settlement.
Innovations in Damage Compatibility and Process Automation
In the early afternoon, Luigi Braconi, President of AICIS Tuscany Region, presented a session dedicated to damage compatibility, focusing on the altimetric, morphological, and energy analysis of damage (EES, or Equivalent Energy of Speed). Luigi explained how these analyses could be automated through the AutoCrash Platform, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of damage verification and speeding up the appraiser's evaluation process.
Accident Reconstruction and Impact Parameter Analysis
Professor Engineer Dario Vangi delved into the importance of reconstructing road accidents, focusing on the essential parameters to determine the dynamics of the incident. He discussed the significance of identifying impact areas, calculating the PDOF (Principal Direction of Force), and analyzing the relative velocity change. Using the AutoCrash Platform, these parameters can be accurately determined, thus facilitating the understanding of incident dynamics for experts and industry technicians.
Compatibility and Deformation Energy in Road Accidents
Closing the day, AutoCrash’s tech lead, Engineer Davide Castellucci, explored a highly technical yet essential topic: deformation energy analysis. Davide introduced participants to the specific rigidity parameters for each vehicle and showcased the automatic crash test video functionality for determining rigidity, offering an overview of the AutoCrash Platform’s advanced capabilities in accident analysis.
Conclusions and Future Prospects
The event concluded with a networking session, giving participants another chance to connect and exchange insights after the discussions during the lunch break. Participants were able to explore ways to integrate AutoCrash into their business processes. The feedback collected was extremely positive, confirming the interest and the need for advanced solutions in accident reconstruction and injury assessment.
We thank everyone who participated and contributed to the success of this day. Stay tuned for the future developments of the AutoCrash Platform, which will continue to evolve to meet industry needs and improve efficiency in claims management.
