Crash Dynamics

The pre and post impact speeds & motions of the vehicles can be determined using:

• Vehicle crush damage
•  Physical evidence on the roadway
•  Vehicle points of rest
• Computer simulations

Analysis are performed on accidents involving:

• Passenger cars
• Sport Utility vehicles
• Trucks & trailers
• Motorcycles
• Pedestrians

Crash Severity

The severity of a crash can be quantified by velocity changes and accelerations obtained by analysis of:

• Direct measurement of the damaged vehicles
• Photographic analysis techniques
• Vehicle "Black Box" data retrieval
• Case specific crash tests
• Computer simulations
• NHTSA crash tests
• Our library of  tests

Occupant Motion

Occupant motions are a key component for biomechanics analysis.  Occupant kinematics can be determined by forensic analysis of the following:

• Seatbelt marks
• Injury patterns
• Interior witness marks
• Kinematics simulation

Visibility Analysis

Visibility is a key factor in many collisions.  The question of what and when could a driver see are answered typically by direct on site studies.  In some instances simulations are required  because of environmental reasons.  Studies and analysis can be conducted for:

• Curve sight lines
• Night time
• Fog
• Sun glare
