Course Description


AIR550 - Collision Reconstruction - 80.00 Hours

Prerequisites

Participants must have completed an advanced level collision investigation course.

Required Materials
Participants are required to bring a scientific calculator and drawing templates or engineering scale.

Description

Collision Reconstruction is designed for experienced collision investigators seeking new approaches to the complexities of analyzing traffic collisions. The course topics expand on the fundamentals of crash investigation with special emphasis on crash reconstruction. Critical thinking skills are sharpened to enable the trained crash investigator to analyze and understand evidence found at the crash scene. Momentum, principle direction of force, Delta-V, vector analysis and time/distance are highlighted in this course. Case studies, many based on crash tests with known quantities as a guide, are used to illustrate major learning points.

Topics

  • Applying critical thinking to traffic collisions using a "what-if" approach
  • Recognizing, analyzing, and solving complex linear momentum problems
  • Applying vector analysis and Delta V
  • Applying time and distance equations

    Audience

    Experienced collision investigators seeking new approaches to the complexities of analyzing traffic collisions.
