Participants of this course will receive a copy of the book Vehicle Accident Analysis and Reconstruction Methods by Raymond and Matthew Brach, and Motorcycle Accident Reconstruction by Nathan Rose.

Many technical projects, most vehicle and component testing, and all accident reconstructions, product failure analyses, and other forensic investigations, require photographic documentation.

This course has been approved by the Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR) for 21 Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Upon completion of this course, accredited reconstructionists should mail a copy of their course certificate of achievement and the $5 participant CEU fee to ACTAR, PO Box 1493, North Platte, NE 69103. ...Photographs and video recordings of vehicle crashes and accident sites are more prevalent than ever, with dash mounted cameras, surveillance footage, and personal cell phones now ubiquitous.

It also provides a detailed description of tire marks and its characteristics in order to investigate accident reconstruction, tire failure modes, their potential causes, identification, and the sometimes-subtle nuances that go along with the determination of tire failure.

This course has been approved by the Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR) for 13 Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Upon completion of this course, accredited reconstructionists should mail a copy of their course certificate of achievement and the $5 participant CEU fee to ACTAR, PO Box 1493, North Platte, NE 69103 Please note, participants are required to bring a laptop to this course to utilize the electronic handout materials.

For automotive engineers involved in crash reconstruction and analysis, a knowledge of basic accident reconstruction principles and techniques is essential, but often insufficient to answer all of the questions posed by design engineers, regulators, and lawyers. ...This course takes participants beyond the basics of accident reconstruction to physical models and analysis techniques that are unique to the reconstruction of single-vehicle rollover crashes.

If you are not able to attend WCX 2022 in-person, you will have the opportunity to join a selected number of live technical and executive discussions online that will advance your skill set in propulsion, connectivity security and safety as well as the business of technology.

Purpose: This award recognizes volunteers for their outstanding contributions in the planning, development, and dissemination of technical information for SAE engineering events, meetings or professional development programs. Established in 1979, this award honors Forest R. McFarland who was an outstanding session organizer and very active with various leadership roles on SAE committees. Criteria: Contributions may include support or organization of technical meetings, conferences, and professional development programs at SAE events or outstanding facilitation of the exchange of technical information.   Eligibility: Individuals - Three years must pass before an individual prior awardee is eligible for another McFarland. Members of the Selection Committee - Committee Members are not eligible for the award while serving on the committee, and two years must pass before former members are eligible to receive a McFarland.

The objectives of this study were to provide insights on how injury risk is influenced by occupant demographics such as sex, age, and size; and to quantify differences within the context of commonly-occurring real-world crashes. The analyses were confined to either single-event collisions or collisions that were judged to be well-defined based on the absence of any significant secondary impacts. These analyses, including both logistic regression and descriptive statistics, were conducted using the Crash Investigation Sampling System for calendar years 2017 to 2021. In the case of occupant sex, the findings agree with those of many recent investigations that have attempted to quantify the circumstances in which females show elevated rates of injury relative to their male counterparts given the same level bodily insult. This study, like others, provides evidence of certain female-specific injuries.

We propose a method for reconstructing the accident situation (“reconstruction method”) which consists of rebuilding the situation immediately before the collision (“pre-crash situation”) using data collected during that time by an event data recorder (EDR) and a dashboard camera (DBC) onboard one or both of the vehicles involved. ...After being combined with the DBC’s video data, the trajectory was projected onto the road surface around the accident site, which allowed us not only to display on a single road map the vehicle’s traveling trajectory, but also to provide, on each point along the trajectory, diverse information from EDR data and freeze-frame pictures of the road ahead from the DBC. The reconstruction method was then applied to a real-world accident involving the collision of two vehicles at an intersection. ...When investigating traffic accidents, it is important to determine the causes. To do so, it is necessary to reconstruct the accident situation accurately and in detail using objective and diverse information.
