Motorcycle Speed Estimates Using Conservation of …

1 Motorcycle Speed Estimates Using Conservation of linear and Rotational momentum Bruce F. McNally, ACTAR McNally and Associates Accident Reconstruction Services, LLC Wade Bartlett, PE, ACTAR Mechanical Forensics Engineering Services, LLP Presented at the 20th Annual Special Problems in Traffic Crash Reconstruction at the Institute of Police Technology and Management, University of North Florida, Jacksonville, Florida, April 15-19, 2002 Abstract This paper discusses the conflicting published information on the use of Conservation of linear momentum in Motorcycle /automobile collisions. The proper methodology for both linear and angular momentum analyses in Motorcycle collisions is reviewed and two case studies are included as examples of successful use of these techniques. The use of linear and angular momentum in collisions where significant weight disparities exist between the vehicles should always include a sensitivity analysis that evaluates the level of confidence of the Speed Estimates .
