Prerequisites: Crash Investigation 1 & 2, Vehicle Dynamics, Traffic Crash Reconstruction 1

Note: Familiarity with high school-level physics algebra, geometry, and trigonometry is needed. We highly recommend Math & Physics Review for Crash Reconstruction for students who have not learned or reviewed these skills in the last 15 years.
​
The final course in our foundational series is a continuation of the skills and knowledge learned in Reconstruction 1 and is also based on the Traffic Crash Reconstruction textbook. Through a format that  ties  lecture material to hands-on analysis, instructors cover conservation of energy and special velocity calculations for situations involving vehicle falls, flips, and rollovers. Students also learn basic skills for analyzing Event Data Recorder information and applying such data to traditional reconstructions. Our expert instructors provide an introduction to the Monte Carlo Statistical Analysis, and students learn to solve momentum-based collision sequences using spreadsheet analysis. Upon successful completion of this course, students will possess the core skills of traffic collision reconstruction and the ability to reconstruct crash situations using energy and statistical analysis of momentum-based crash reconstructions. This course is a prerequisite for other advanced reconstruction offerings.
