Abstract

Telematics services include automatic location tracking for emergency rescue, which is available for use in case of a car accident due to falling off roadways. This paper presents a simulation study on how far a car will fall before it hits the ground, if dropped off the roadway due to an accident or a natural disaster. The greatest distance the falling car can travel is presented in this paper, on the assumption that air resistance as well as the direction and size of the acceleration due to gravity is negligible.
