Driver Distraction from Electronic Devices: Insights and Implications 4 Hours | Web Seminar or On Demand Course I.D.# WB1140 or PD331140ON Although many have an idea of what the term “driver distraction” means, there is no common definition within the research community. Additionally, there are many studies that have investigated the topic, but with varying and sometimes conflicting results. What should be made of these discrepancies? This four-hour web seminar will provide an overview of driver distraction (predominantly electronic devices): the problem; how to define it; the current state of research and how to critically evaluate that research to make informed decisions; and the effectiveness of state laws and fleet policies to reduce it. The conclusion of the course will summarize strategies, techniques, and technologies that have been shown to be effective in reducing distracted driving from electronic devices. This course has been approved by the Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR) for 4 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 connecting with this web seminar, you will be able to: • Weigh the extent of the driver distraction problem • Define driver distraction • Critically examine the current state of driver distraction research • Identify the strengths and limitations of various research approaches that assess driver distraction from electronic devices • Recognize the difference between various forms of distraction (cognitive, auditory, visual, manual) • Assess the effectiveness of policy efforts to reduce driver distraction from electronic devices • Explain that all cell phone “tasks” do not have equal risk • Determine effective strategies, techniques, and technologies for minimizing distracted driving Who Should Attend This web seminar is intended for all those interested in being equipped to critically examine the current state of research in driver distraction. Although the course is aimed at driver distraction from electronic devices, the results pertain to driver distraction in general. Vehicle manufacturers, OEMs, and cell phone providers and manufacturers will be able to use the information presented in this web seminar to develop engineering solutions in this area.

Fundamentals of Motor Vehicle Fire Investigation 3 Days | Classroom Seminar I.D.# C0915
The manner in which a motor vehicle fire is initiated and subsequently spreads is dependent on a number of complex, interdependent, phenomena including combustion kinetics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics. Because the damage caused by a fire is coupled to these phenomena, damage patterns can sometimes be used to understand certain characteristics about the fire. In many cases, the goal is to determine the cause and origin of the fire.
