This course will provide you with the latest theories and methodologies of crash reconstruction and expand your knowledge of the principles of collision analysis.
Much more than “just a refresher” class, we will present topics that have previously received limited coverage as well as many new ones. While the course can be thought of as “in-service” training for traffic crash reconstructionists, ACTAR candidates will also find it beneficial.
We will review the mathematical equations that are used in conjunction with crash data to interpret how a collision occurred. Emphasis will be placed upon skid characteristics, spin analysis, critical speed yaw analysis and friction. The concepts of time-distance, uniform circular motion, pole impacts, conservation of linear momentum and using simultaneous equations to solve inline collisions are just a few of the topics that will be covered.
As part of the course, you will be required to complete several in-class projects and a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary project designed to reinforce the class material.
Topics Include
Course Length: 40 hours
