Abstract
This study employs Visual dBASE to establish a systematic tire-marks matching database to increase the correctness and efficiency of tire-marks identification executed by investigators at accident scene. The database includes tire manufactures, vehicle type/model, and tire specifications. In addition, it encompasses a tire-marks matching function. It can be more conveniently used to identify the tire pattern and catch tire-treads by inputting the actual widths of light and heavy streaks on the tire-marks. From this systematic system, we can find out the probably involved tire size and vehicle geometric properties and infer from them with the front/rear track and wheelbase to determine the tire-marks' belonging. In its empirical case validation, this system shows that it does increase the operational effectiveness of tire-marks identification and reduce the scope of investigation, especially in hit and run accidents. Furthermore, it does improve the quality of accident investigation and identification.
