This class builds upon Advanced Traffic Crash Investigation course by assisting you further in understanding vehicle dynamics. You will take part in a more intense study of time/distance calculations, angular momentum and impact speed calculations using momentum equations. Topics include: Derivation and origin of the commonly used speed formulas. Speed of vehicles at impact using conservation of linear momentum. Behavior of vehicles in a collision using Newtons three laws of motion. Discussions of commercial vehicle and motorcycle dynamics in collisions. The determination of direction of travel, initial contact and position of vehicles on the roadway. This course includes extensive project work and controlled vehicle experiments to give you first-hand experience in crash reconstruction. Each student will be required to diagram and analyze three different crash scenarios as well as complete vector sum analysis of each. Prerequisites: At-Scene Traffic Crash Investigation and an 80-hour Advanced Traffic Crash Investigation.
