EVIDENCE IN TRAFFIC CRASH INVESTIGATION AND RECONSTRUCTION begins with a detailed description of the entire investigation process. The material then graduates into the various phases and levels of investigations, showing the levels of training and education normally associated with the levels of investigations and consequently the duties and responsibilities of the investigator and reconstructionist. Using narrative, schematics, and photographs, the mechanical inspection process is described in detail by identifying various vehicle parts, explanations of their functions, and methods of identifying failures. Human-related factors in traffic crash investigations are discussed at length, including the traffic crash viewed as a systems failure. Looming vulnerability, a recently developed theoretical construct that helps to describe and understand social, cognitive, organizational, and psychological mechanism, is described. Discussed also is the role of vision in driver performance; perception as a four-way process; perceptions and reactions; driver's reaction to stress; and the roles of pathologists, medical examiners, and coroners in traffic crash reconstruction. Who is an expert and expert evidence are described in detail. Errors that can occur in the investigation process and the tolerances that should be considered or allowed are explained. The manual also discusses the importance of calling upon the skills and advice of occupational specialists, such as reconstructionists, lawyers, traffic engineers, pathologists, medical examiners and others, to assist in the investigation and reconstruction of a crash that will ensure that the objectives of a thorough and complete investigation will be satisfied. Considerable effort has been made in the manual to explain how to identify, interpret and analyze all forms of highway marks and damages that can be used in the reconstruction of a vehicle-related crash. As a guide for investigators, prosecutors and defense attorneys, checkboxes are provided with many of the major topics that can be used as prompters in evaluating the thoroughness of an investigation or for those areas that might or might not need additional coverage at trial or litigation proceedings. To meet international requirements, mathematical references are described in both English (U.S.) and SI (metric) measurement systems, accompanied by various appendices covering symbols and mathematical conversions. Finally, there is a comprehensive quick-find index that takes the reader directly to any topic, formulae, or subject matter - or any combination of these.

In this third edition of Vehicle Accident Analysis & Reconstruction Methods, Raymond M. Brach and R. Matthew Brach have expanded and updated their essential work for professionals in the field of accident reconstruction. Most accidents can be reconstructed effectively using of calculations and investigative and experimental data: the authors present the latest scientific, engineering, and mathematical reconstruction methods, providing a firm scientific foundation for practitioners. Accidents that cannot be reconstructed using the methods in this book are rare. In recent decades, the field of crash reconstruction has been transformed through the use of technology. The advent of event data records (EDRs) on vehicles signaled the era of modern crash reconstruction, which utilizes the same physical evidence that was previously available as well as electronic data that are measured/captured before, during, and after the collision. There is increased demand for more professional and accurate reconstruction as more crash data is available from vehicle sensors. The third edition of this essential work includes a new chapter on the use of EDRs as well as examples using EDR data in accident reconstruction. Early chapters feature foundational material that is necessary for the understanding of vehicle collisions and vehicle motion; later chapters present applications of the methods and include example reconstructions. As a result, Vehicle Accident Analysis & Reconstruction Methods remains the definitive resource in accident reconstruction.

This book is designed to assist all those who pursue justice in cases involving collision reconstruction evidence. The book is based on the author's formal education, his experience in the field, and his experience with the courts. This book is a reference book and was designed with the following goals: To provide police investigators with a scientific foundation of the collision reconstruction tools they are taught; To provide tools to assist investigators in analyzing relatively complex scenarios requiring the use of a series of equations To better prepare the investigator to communicate the analysis of physical evidence; and, To provide a common understanding and language between police, prosecutors, defence attorneys, and engineers. The reader is progressively taken from the motion of vehicles, to the identification of physical evidence, to the recording of physical evidence, to the analysis and communication of the physical evidence. The progression flows easily, and the content is such that it will provide a valuable reference to all those involved in the field of collision investigation.

This handbook is prepared for the daily, practical needs of those who are involved in traffic accident analysis, investigation, and reconstruction, whether they be in the training, police, private, or legal professions. It also meets international requirements in that all formulae and explanations are provided in both the English (U.S.) and metric (S.I.) measurement systems. In all cases, the two systems are dealt with separately so as to avoid any unnecessary confusion. Provided also are many tables and constants relating one system to the other so that those who may normally work under one system but use reference materials in the other will have a readily accessible means of making any necessary conversions. After an introductory chapter describes the various symbols used in traffic accident investigation and reconstruction, subsequent chapters include very comprehensive formulae required in problem-solving involving acceleration and acceleration factors; center of mass; drag factor and coefficient of friction; slide-to-stop speed; yaw, sideslip, or critical curve speeds; acceleration, distance and time calculations; momentum speed; combined speeds, and distance and time calculations. Additionally, there are various other formulae and mathematical, velocity, and conversion tables presented. All 160 formulae and their various uses are set out in a uniform, easy-to-read, and understandable format. Whether in law, law enforcement, or private or insurance investigation, this book provides traffic accident investigators and reconstructionists with the data they need to perform their job accurately and efficiently.

This book describes an orderly and science-based process of highway accident investigation, reconstruction and causation, beginning with the collection and interpretation of physical evidence, through the qualitative and quantitative reconstruction, to the determination of accident causation, with the ultimate goal of guiding the development of countermeasures. This process has evolved from the author's extensive teaching, research and reconstruction experience involving thousands of highway accidents, as well as the shared expertise of dozens of qualified investigators and engineers. Serious consideration is given to the role of police and civilian investigators in the process. Procedures are provided for the identification, collection, documentation and interpretation of the physical evidence upon which the entire process is dependent. Guidance is also provided in the qualitative reconstruction of accidents, thus providing critical information for subsequent quantitative reconstruction and causal analysis. Quantitative accident reconstruction proceeds from final rest backward through post-impact, impact and pre-impact phases of an event. The derivation and description of the vehicle and impact dynamics necessary for this reconstruction for a variety of crash configurations, as well as many example cases, are presented and discussed. An Accident Causation Model is offered as an orderly method for identifying human, vehicular, and environmental failures that cause a given highway accident. Analysis of the "second impact" includes a discussion of the methodology for determining occupant kinematics and injury causation, as well as suggestions for injury mitigation. Although this book is primarily directed toward investigators, reconstructionists and causal analysts, some topics will be of interest to professionals from a wide variety of fields such as attorneys, insurance adjustors, judges, and vehicle and highway engineers.
