Identification of Local Damages on the Car Body to Determine the Simultaneity of Their Formation

Abstract

Currently there is an active introduction of computer methods and tools in the expert activity. The use of computer technology in the field of expert studies can objectively, efficiently and with less time produce an expert research of a technical condition of the car body. The paper proposes a hardware-software complex for damage assessment of a car body for comparative analysis of identification of simultaneous formation of damage to the vehicle on the basis of which the decision can be made whether the mechanical damage belongs to this accident or not. The feature of the complex is the definition of simultaneity of corrosion occurrence on the typical color change of the damaged surface of the car body. In contrast to the existing analogues, the software and hardware complex has a higher speed of examination, it is not necessary to map the surface of contact, to perform an investigative study to establish the statute of limitations between the time of the accident and the examination appointment.
