TRAINING - CERTIFIED TRAFFIC CRASH RECONSTRUCTION COURSE

Traffic Crash Reconstruction

Course Fee:

Course Length:

80 hours

Prerequisites:

Advanced Crash Investigation

Course Overview:

This course is intended to provide members of the law enforcement community the necessary skills required to complete a reconstruction and analysis of a motor vehicle collision. The course will provide the student with a working knowledge of how to interpret, document, and safeguard evidence. Techniques and procedures will be explained in how to prepare and present the expert opinions in a court of law.

Course Objectives:

Upon completion of this course the student will be able to do the following:

Explain Newton's laws of motion.
Describe kinetic energy, work, and potential energy. Explain how they relate to speed.
Explain and derive the following formulas:
Minimum speed equations
Kinetic energy equations
Airborne speed equations
Radius equations
Critical speed equation
Conservation of momentum equations
Explain the limitations of a damage analysis.
Explain the formulas required to complete a damage speed analysis.
Complete damage speed analysis formulas through written project(s).
Define point of perception and its importance to a time, distance, and motion analysis.
