Course Description
Vehicle vs. pedestrian or bicycle crashes often result in severe injuries, escalating the importance of thoroughness and accuracy in the investigation and reconstruction processes. This course incorporates classroom lecture, demonstrations (through field exercises with crash test dummies, exercise as well as determining coefficient of friction and drag factors, speed estimates from various equations and crash testing, case preparation and courtroom testimony. Students will learn the math equations to model such collisions. Students will also learn how to determine first-contact positions of pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles to estimate the speed of a striking vehicle.
