Learning physically grounded traffic accident reconstruction from public accident reports
Traffic accidents are routinely documented in textual reports, yet physically grounded accident reconstruction remains difficult because detailed scene measurements and expert reconstructions are scarce, costly and hard to scale. Here we formulate accident reconstruction from publicly accessible reports and scene measurements as a parameterized multimodal learning problem. We construct CISS-REC, a dataset of 6,217 real-world accident cases curated from the NHTSA Crash Investigation Sampling System, and develop a reconstruction framework that grounds report semantics to road topology and participant attributes, reconstructs lane consistent pre-impact motion, and refines collision relevant ...
