N2 - An expert system has been proposed to estimate the relationship between the vehicle pre-braking speed and the length of the skid mark. Since the length of the skid mark varies with many factors, there is no a single formula or equation which can represent the relationship between the vehicle pre-braking speed and the length of the skid mark. Therefore in this paper an expert system is built to estimate the relationship between the vehicle pre-braking speed and the length of the skid mark. The radial basis function (RBF) neural network is used for the expert system due to its shorter training time and higher accuracy. There are many factors affecting the skid mark. In this paper we choose 7 factors, i.e. brand of vehicle, vehicle displacement, year of manufacture, vehicle weight, vehicles with and without ABS, roadway surface, and vehicle speed for the training in the RBF neural network. The total number of the training data for the RBF neural network is 2619. The results showed that high accuracy is obtained for estimating the relationship between the vehicle pre-braking speed and the length of the skid mark. Thus the expert system proposed in this paper is demonstrated to be a suitable system for estimating the relationship between the vehicle pre-braking speed and the length of the skid mark.
