Abstract:
In this paper, methods for scientifically inferring the causes of the falls-from-height accidents, that is, the initial fall postures, and reconstructing the fall accident are presented. For this purpose, the general types of fall were subdivided into eight, and the characteristics of each fall type were analyzed. An initial posture estimation tool based on Fuzzy method was developed utilizing the massive amount of quantitative database that was constructed by repeating the simulation program for all types of falls. In addition, the initial conditions for each type were standardized with the experimental results and simulation data to reconstruct the fall behavior using the estimated fall accident type. The results of four carefully selected case studies were presented to verify the reliability and practicality of the developed fall analysis program and the reconstruction method.
