Engine Failure in Road Traffic as the Cause of a Traffic Accident
Abstract: The article deals with technical analysis of the cause of a technical failure of the Mercesed vehicle, which led to a traffic accident due to the loss of the vehicles controllability. The methodology and procedures during the inspection of a vehicle as well as the methods applied to process documentation are systematically clarified. Subsequently, the individual findings are presented and evaluated and their technical interpretation is made. The strength calculation of the component (the timing chain) and the calculation of forces exerted on the chain are introduced. In the conclusion, the findings are evaluated with regard to the calculations and technical evaluation of the case is presented.
Keywords: Traffic accident, vehicle, engine, timing mechanism, timing chain, construction, forces, ABS
