After providing a brief background, the motor vehicle crash processis examined using theoretical principles and a basic understanding of the crash process. It is shown that the fundamental crash processfollows a Bernoulli trial with unequal probability of independent events, also known as Poisson trials (rather than a Poisson process). The evolution of statistical models is then presented as it applies to the motor vehicle crash process, ...
