Accident Reconstruction

Accident Reconstruction requires specialized training and experience.  It also requires a working knowledge of a wide variety of tools for reconstruction.
Software and tools we utilize to provide investigation and reconstruction include:
    
    Crash Zone 9.0
        scene mapping with laser data
        scene diagraming from photos
        animation for the court room
    LTI laser mapping
        scene mapping for Crash Zone
    AR Pro
        numerical analysis of data from
        crash scene for speed and 
        driver reactions. 
    EDC HVE-CSI
        simple crash simulations 
    Photogrammetry
        creating scene diagrams from
        scene photographs
    Calc Zone Pro
        same as AR Pro
    Bosch Crash Data Retrieval
        see column right
    Greg Russell's Excel Spreadsheets 
    for Accident Reconstruction
        crash scene data analysis
    Auto Ped 2000
        determine position of vehicle 
        for animation studies.

Collision Investigation and analysis in the following areas:

    Pedestrian
    Bicycle
    Motorcycle
    Passenger car
    Light truck
    Heavy truck

Crash Data Retrieval

Current software can gather
information on motor vehicle crashes from the airbag control module's data recording capability.  Many motor vehicles equipped with airbags have recorded airbag status and crash data for impacts that caused airbag deployment.  Many systems also record data during a non-deployment event where impacts are not severe enough to deploy the airbag(s), but severe enough to "wake the system up".  Ford vehicles equipped with Electronic Throttle Control (Power Train Control Module) are capable of recording data, continuously written typically over a 25 second period of time.
Specific information available Includes:
Vehicle speed based on wheel rotation rate.
Brake application based on brake pedal position.
Engine power requested based on throttle position.
Seat belt usage by driver and passenger.
Delta V from crash pulse.
System fault codes.
Driver action prior to impact.

Risk Management

The economic consequences on businesses whose employees abuse drugs can be significant.  Those employees when employed in positions where a minor degree of impairment can be catastrophic jeopardizing the safety of other employees and citizens.
We offer specific comprehensive training for supervisors and managers of companies that will provide the ability to recognize employees that are under the influence and impaired by drugs other than alcohol.  This training will provide a systematic approach to recognizing and evaluating individuals in a work environment in order to provide early intervention.
Courses can be scheduled in a one or two day format, depending on the level of training and specific company needs.
