Techniques for reconstructing traffic accidents involving pedestrian collisions depend primarily on the pedestrian projection distance in order to be feasible, from the moment of impact to the final resting position. The final resting position is relatively straightforward to determine in most cases. However, determining the impact area, which is equally important, requires greater attention and dedication from traffic accident investigators due to the scarcity of evidence and its inherent subtlety. This article presents forensic techniques for determining the impact area, thereby enabling the complete reconstruction of traffic accidents involving pedestrian collisions.
