This course is designed for officers who wish to advance to the level of reconstructionist. It contains reconstruction methodologies, equation derivation, and the knowledge necessary to eventually qualify as an expert. The training will also focus on the methods' sensitivity to uncertainties in field data and vehicle dynamics. Interested students should have completed SRR’s 80-hour Basic Crash Investigation and SRR’s 80-hour Advanced Crash Investigation or their equivalent as a prerequisite.

Ped/Auto According to the latest national statistics, pedestrian fatalities represent 18% of all vehicular fatalities. Over 7,000 pedestrians are killed in traffic crashes, while 68,000 pedestrians are injured nationwide. The investigation of pedestrian collisions presents special considerations, probably more so than vehicle vs. vehicle collisions. This course is designed to give students a thorough understanding of scene evidence assessment and documentation, as well as the application of specialized pedestrian equations. This course features simulated impacts that allow the students to apply learned methodologies for calculating vehicle impact speeds. Topics: Medical and Vehicle Terminology The Pedestrian, Driver and Environmental Relationship The Crash Scene Pedestrian Crash Analysis Introduction to Formulas Crash Tests and Exercises Temple Police Department, 209 E. Ave. A., Temple, TX, 76501

THIRD IN A SERIES OF THREE COURSES Traffic Crash Reconstruction builds upon IPTM’s 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, two-dimensional 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 Newton’s 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 to give you first hand experience in crash reconstruction. Each student will be required to diagram and analyze several different crash scenarios as well as complete vector sum analysis of each.

Crush Energy This course explains the fundamentals of crush energy and the important role it plays in collision reconstruction. More specifically, students learn about the critical role of energy balance as it applies to a thorough investigation. Proper protocol for obtaining crush measurements is explained as well as how to accurately determine crush coefficients. Topics: Fundamental Concepts Velocity/time diagrams Force, work and energy analysis Coefficient of restitution and crush energy Crush measurement, crush energy and impact speed analysis Damage Classification Motion analysis Temple Police Department, 209 E. Ave. A., Temple, TX, 76501

This course builds upon IPTM’s Event Data Recorder (EDR) Use in Traffic Crash Reconstruction - Level I by teaching you how to apply mathematical concepts to your EDR-based reconstructions. We will begin by reviewing the math and physics concepts necessary to analyze EDR data in more complex non-central collisions. Topics such as the Law of Cosines; the Law of Sines; momentum; closing velocity; and change in velocity relationships will be discussed in detail. You will learn how each of these can be used in your reconstruction. Actual EDR reports from a variety of collisions will be utilized to show you how to determine all the values necessary for a complete reconstruction. Projects and problem sets have been designed to reinforce the materials presented during lectures and will provide you with the tools you will need to complete actual reconstructions.

This course will provide you with a more thorough understanding of the physics that are applied in the reconstruction of a traffic crash or any other incident where motion is involved. While some of the topics discussed in the course are introduced in basic crash investigation and reconstruction courses, they will be given significantly more in-depth coverage in this course. In addition, Applied Physics for the Traffic Crash Investigator will prepare you for the concepts presented in advanced reconstruction courses using computer modeling.

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.
