Abstract
In the paper two car collinear collisions are discussed using Newton's law of mechanics, conservation of energy and linear constitutive law connecting impact force and crush. Two ways of calculating the mutual restitution coefficient are given: one based on car masses and one based on car stiffness. A numerical example of an actual test is provided.
