Dynamics is a subject that can be quite complex and daunting. However, it need not be when we look to real world problems. Analyzation of problems that are encountered enables you to break complex problems into bite-sized pieces that may be solved with relatively simple math. Problems in traffic crash dynamics are less about the math used to solve the problem than your ability to define the problem and realize in what direction the solution should take. In other words, let the problem tell you how to solve it. This requires a good problem-solving strategy that involves both sketching out the problem and developing a basic understanding of the fundamental dynamics involved. Topics Include Concepts in physics Forces acting on stopping vehicles Application of Conservation of Linear Momentum Understanding spin analyses and critical speed yaw Pole and narrow object impacts Concepts in rotational mechanics Time-distance analyses and projects Damage momentum and damage energy analysis Uniform projectile motion and airborne speed analysis Fundamentals of rollover crash investigation Audience Law enforcement and private traffic crash investigators, claims adjusters, engineers, prosecuting attorneys, safety officers, military investigative personnel, animators, and graphic designers. It will also be quite useful for those teaching traffic crash reconstruction to their respective agencies or groups.

As a crash investigator or reconstructionist, you understand the importance of precision and evidence-based analysis. This five-day, hands-on course is designed to elevate your investigative capabilities by teaching you how to extract and analyze vehicle speed data from video footage. Whether you're employed by a law enforcement agency or working in private reconstruction, this training will equip you with the tools and techniques to apply video motion analysis in real-world crash scenarios. You will begin by reviewing foundational concepts from IPTM’s At-Scene and Advanced Crash Investigation courses, then dive into specialized instruction on video metadata, scene diagramming, and motion analysis software. Through guided lessons, field exercises, and case studies, you’ll learn to calculate vehicle speeds using Constant, Uniform, and Average Time and Speed equations. The course culminates in a comprehensive review and final exam to validate your proficiency.

FIRST IN THE COMMERCIAL VEHICLE CRASH INVESTIGATION SERIES This intensive course will cover the unique characteristics of commercial motor vehicles and the special dynamics at play when one is involved in a collision. Detailed information of the nomenclature and operation of commercial motor vehicles will provide you with a level of competence needed to have an adequate understanding of mechanical components, parts and pieces of the commercial motor vehicle and how they may factor into your investigation. To reinforce the concepts presented, you will conduct “hands-on” exercises and vehicle testing during the course. Topics Include Tractor-trailer nomenclature Brake systems: configuration and operation Wheels, rims and tires Steering suspensions and frames Trailer coupling devices - fifth wheels Driver concerns - log books Vehicle components Center of mass determinations Skid mark measurements and speed analysis Jackknifing Rollover Vehicle dynamics in braking Weight shifting Audience Law enforcement and private traffic crash investigators, claims adjusters, engineers, attorneys, safety officers, military investigative personnel, animators and graphic designers.

SECOND IN THE COMMERCIAL VEHICLE CRASH INVESTIGATION SERIES Designed to further enhance the knowledge and skills you acquired in IPTM’s Commercial Vehicle Crash Investigation–Level I course, this class focuses on a detailed analysis of commercial vehicle systems and dynamics along with the application of your findings to the crash reconstruction. We will begin by analyzing the ABS air brake system on commercial motor vehicle (CMV) truck-tractors and trailers by conducting tests to determine average air brake chamber pressure. You will participate in a “hands-on” field inspection as we conduct brake tests with a CMV. We’ll teach you how to construct free-body diagrams and formulate equilibrium equations to determine the range of weight distribution on the axles. We will also examine quasi-static and dynamic rollover propensities and conduct an analysis of suspension spring rates. After a review of high and low speed off-tracking, we will show you how to derive the equations for establishing maximum off-track distance. You will also learn how to interpret and analyze rotational motion that may be present in a CMV crash. Finally, we will discuss the different types of transmissions used in today’s commercial motor vehicles and teach you how to obtain the range of speeds for the vehicle based upon the gear position at the time of the crash. Topics Include Tractor-trailer ABS air brake system Hydraulic brake systems in commercial vehicles and how fluid pressures are boosted Quasi-static and dynamic rollover propensities and liquid loads Axle weight analysis and load reconstruction Off-tracking Speed from gear ratio Rotational mechanics Field inspection Audience Law enforcement and private traffic crash investigators, claims adjusters, engineers, attorneys, safety officers, military investigative personnel, animators and graphic designers.

This 40-hour block of training is designed for the technical investigator and/or collision reconstructionist seeking to understand the advanced topics needed for reconstructing heavy vehicle collisions. The prerequisite for this class is the successful completion of the Forensic Training Group’s Heavy Truck Reconstruction Techniques 40-hour course. Upon conclusion of the class, the student will receive updates in the evaluation of a heavy vehicle's ability to stop to include air wedge brakes, changes in air disc brake systems, and the evaluation of air supported anti-lock braking systems. The student will be able to evaluate trailer stability, speed of an under-riding passenger vehicle, and operator responses to leading vehicles. The student will be able to estimate speeds from non-centered co-linear collisions and the use of rotational momentum in evaluating the impact speed of a vehicle. Heavy Vehicle Event Data will be discussed during this course. A (1 year) subscription to the FTG Heavy Truck workbook software will be included in this course and projects using this software will be completed during the week. Completion of this class will also better prepare the student to be successful in courtroom presentations. Eligible for ACTAR Credits.

FIRST IN A SERIES OF THREE COURSES This course will equip you with the necessary skills to conduct a thorough traffic crash investigation and properly document your findings for courtroom presentation. We will show you the proper procedures for measuring, scale diagramming, and photographing in order to record physical evidence and essential facts available only at the crash scene. You will learn the fundamentals of mathematics, physics and engineering as they pertain to crash investigations and the proper mathematical equations to apply for the type of crash being investigated. Finally, you will learn to analyze the information to determine what happened before, during, and after the collision.

SECOND IN A SERIES OF THREE COURSES Building upon the theories and techniques learned in IPTM’s At-Scene Traffic Crash/Traffic Homicide Investigation course, this class will delve into the advanced concepts of traffic crash investigations. More complex vehicle dynamics like acceleration/deceleration, factor, rate and airborne situations will be explored. You will learn to estimate speeds from falls, vaults, and flips and the calculation of kinetic energy and linear momentum. You’ll also learn to evaluate vehicle lamps, tires, and damage to help determine vehicle behaviors during the collision. Much of the coursework will be spent using acceleration/deceleration factors and perception/reaction times to determine time/distance relationships for colliding vehicles. IPTM’s Advanced Traffic Crash Investigation will prepare you for a variety of advanced and specialty courses in traffic crash investigations.
