Flugpfadrekonstruktion auf Grundlage von Zeugenaussagen mit Hilfe der Virtual-reality-Technologie

In the frame of this thesis the use of the new media Virtual-Reality (VR) has been evaluated for the analysis of eyewitness reports in the field of aircraft accident investigation. The development has been based on the actual overview of existing applications and the existing problematic to recalculate a flight path without flight recorder data or radar information. Further the physiology and psychology of an eyewitness is described. With the new method Immersive Witness Interview eyewitness reports can be transferred from 2D in the VR environment and can be easily analyzed and visualized. The flightpath can be calculated based on minimum of two witness reports from two different positions. Finally the result can be visualized with the expected maximum failures. With these study results the method has been evaluated for a linear flight path. The minimum requirements are defined for the use of this method in reality. Further applications and feasible studies to evaluate the method further are conclusively presented. Inhaltsverzeichnis I
