Researchers at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute’s (TTI) Proving Grounds have run over 3,000 full-scale crash tests on everything from subcompact cars to 80,000-lb tractor-trailer rigs. The Center for Transportation Computational Mechanics (CeTCoM) at TTI has a history for being able to help predict the outcome of such crash testing using computer simulations and publicly […]

Computer Simulations Explore “What If” Disaster Scenarios
Advances in computer modeling now make a proactive plan more possible, potentially giving planners the head start they need to minimize the public-safety and economic consequences of a disaster.
