CRIM 2093 - Traffic Crash Reconstruction

Institution:

Black River Technical College

Subject:

Description:

This course will provide the student skills necessary to complete a crash investigation to such a level of proficiency that reconstruction and analysis of the collision will be possible. This course will assist and prepare the student to testify in court at the expert level. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to explain and demonstrate minimum speed equations, kinetic energy equations, airborne speed equations, radius equations, critical speed equation, and conservation of momentum equations, explain Newton's Laws of Motion, what kinetic energy is, what potential energy is and how these energies relate to minimum speed. The student will be able to complete a time, distance and motion analysis and relate to a particular crash investigation and reconstruction; evaluate and interpret information from the initial investigation, follow-up reports and diagrams; understand the necessity of geometry, algebra and trigonometry and their application in crash investigation; understand basic applications to be used in reconstructing motorcycle and commercial motor vehicle crash investigations; taught special situation and use of equations involving lane change and critical turn away; application of the theory and use of vector analysis; and students will be involved with field exercises and application to show that they have participated in and can conduct their own imperial study in the areas of pedestrian walking studies and motor vehicle acceleration and deceleration testing.
