CONCLUSION Accident investigation and reconstruction involves the inspection and evaluation of the system components including human, vehicle, and road environment factors. There are many data collection points especially in determining the physical evidence in relation to all these factors, including conducting performance tests. The whole process consists of a set of procedures incorporating many fields of expertise from on-the-scene work such as recording and gathering all the evidence through to the comprehensive collision analyses, including simulation. The benefits of such in-depth analyses will provide a reliable base for the reconstruction of an incident and allow better understanding of the inter-relationship of the system components in road crashes. The findings should be used as lessons learnt and justification for road authorities to enhance safety standards and improve best practices and policies. 6 16 VOL 2018 VOL 76 55 OCTOBER-DECEMBER JUNE 2013 REFERENCE 1.
