VEHICLE CRASH RECONSTRUCTION: PRINCIPLES AND TECHNOLOGY Classroom activities provide
you with an opportunity to have hands-on experience with crash evidence. You will receive a copy of the Raymond and Matthew Brock text, Vehicle Accident Analysis and Reconstruction Methods .
Crash reconstruction utilizes principles of physics and empirical data to analyze the physical, electronic, video, audio, and testimonial evidence from a crash to determine how and why the crash occurred. This course covers basic principles and approaches to accident reconstruction (breaking the analysis down into phases, for instance). Methods of evidence documentation are covered. Since different crash types produce different evidence types and call for different analysis methods, the course covers physical evidence, empirical data, and analysis method for the following crash types: in-line and intersection collisions (planar impact mechanics and crush analysis), pedestrian collisions, motorcycle crashes, rollover crashes, and heavy truck crashes. The instructors present analysis methods for electronic data from event data recorders and for video. Finally, the course covers photogrammetry, simulation, and uncertainty analysis. Each topic is covered to a level of detail useful for practicing accident reconstructionists and prepares you to dive into each topic in more detail either through your own research or through other course offerings from SAE. Classroom activities provide you with an opportunity to have hands-on experience with crash evidence. You will receive a copy of the book Vehicle Accident Analysis and Reconstruction Methods by Raymond and Matthew Brach. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By attending this seminar, you will be able to: • Describe the basic evidence documentation techniques • Recognize the different types of evidence produced by the different collision types • Describe the basic mechanics of collisions • Summarize the principles of planar impact mechanics and crush analysis • Describe the forms of analysis applicable to each collision type • Summarize the empirical data available in the literature for each collision type WHO SHOULD ATTEND This course is well-suited for individuals just beginning to work in the area of crash reconstruction as well as persons already in the field who want to establish a firmer foundation in current crash reconstruction technology.
