vehicle demonstration; and/or taking part in an offsite tour using outside transportation. You will be required to sign a waiver on-site and produce a valid driver’s license from your state/ country of residence. Topical Outline DAY ONE • Primer on Multiplexed Vehicle Electronics Systems and Vehicle Data Networks −− Network architecture — SAE J1587/J1708; SAE J1939 −− Industry standards for EDR devices — SAE J2728; TMC RP1210; Other industry standards; Potential government regulations • Accessing and Imaging Data −− Through in-cab diagnostic port −− Direct to module (benchtop) −− Truck-in-box simulators • HVEDR Devices and Data Currently Available on Heavy Vehicles −− Engine control systems --Detroit Diesel; Mercedes- Benz; Cummins −− Small Group Hands-On Imaging HVEDR Data DAY TWO • HVEDR Devices and Data Currently Available on Heavy Vehicles (continued) −− Electronic Control Units - Caterpillar; Mack; Volvo; International; PACCAR −− Active Safety Systems - VORAD; ABS & Stability Control Systems; Collision Warning & Active Braking Systems; Lane Departure Systems −− Small Group Hands-On Imaging HVEDR Data DAY THREE • Inspecting the Vehicle −− Chassis & powertrain identification and health −− Vehicle configuration −− Collision damage • Validation Studies and the Accuracy/Reliability of HVEDR Data −− Interpreting and Applying HVEDR Data −− Determining whether data imaged from a HVEDR is related to an incident of interest −− Determining where impact occurred in dataset −− Comparing vehicle speed to engine speed −− Determining gear selection −− Determining travel distance −− Determining acceleration/deceleration −− Determining driver inputs −− Rollover signatures −− Rear impacts • Group Projects −− Students will split into small groups and will work on a group project that will include a vehicle inspection, skid mark measurements, HVEDR imaging, and analysis of the HVEDR data and comparison to the documented physical evidence.
Note: Students will want to wear appropriate clothing to inspect a heavy truck. Also, students may want to document their project with cameras, camcorders, tape measures, etc.

Applying Automotive EDR Data to Traffic Crash Reconstruction 3 Days | Classroom Seminar I.D.# C1210 EDR’s are not new, but are becoming more prevalent in part due to a new federal regulation. 49 CFR, Part 563, which affects vehicles produced after September 30, 2012, will result in a standardized and publicly available EDR in 90% of new vehicles. Accident Reconstructionists frequently have trouble reconciling EDR data with other data sources, and improvements in ABS technology result in fewer tire marks visible at the scene of crashes to allow calculation of pre-crash speeds without an EDR. This course will provide the participant with the skills necessary to analyze EDR data that has already been imaged, apply it to crash reconstruction, and reconcile it with calculations using other data sources. The course will enable the participant to analyze any current and future EDR data set without regard to manufacturer. The class presents the generic analysis step by step, then groups EDR’s into manufacturer-specific families and their data limita- tions, and works case studies that highlight targeted key learning objectives. The student will also learn key points to satisfy court Frye and Daubert requirements for EDR data to be admissible, and suggest methods to present EDR data that will communicate the data understandably to attorneys and lay juries. This course has been approved by the Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR) for 20 Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Upon completion of this seminar, accredited reconstructionists should mail a copy of their course certificate and the $5 student CEU fee to ACTAR, PO Box 1493, North Platte, NE 69103. Learning Objectives By attending this seminar, you will be able to: • Describe EDR sensor operation, recording interval and duration, resolution, accuracy, and time latency and articulate the limitations of applying the data to crash analysis.
