MOTORCYCLE COLLISION RECONSTRUCTION

INSTRUCTOR:  LOU PECK

The Motorcycle Collision Reconstruction course equips the analyst with a firm understanding of motorcycle dynamics and current reconstruction techniques through deep review of literature, sample evidence, and exercises. The following topics are covered:

  1. Introduction to motorcycle crash causation, motorcycle anatomy, and specification research

  2. Review of kinematics including units, conversions, and derivations of basic equations

  3. Fundamentals of motorcycle dynamics (geometry, stability, steering, weight transfer, suspension, etc.)

  4. Motorcycle inspection

  5. Rider perception-response time

  6. Braking systems and rider performance

  7. Introduction to Excel for collision reconstruction

  8. Dynamics of swerving and rider performance

  9. Acceleration behavior, calculations, and gearing analysis

  10. Sliding friction for downed motorcycles

  11. Analysis of wheelbase reduction for determination of impact speed

  12. Angular momentum

  13. Rider and pillion vault analysis

  14. Event data recorders and dataloggers

  15. Simulation analyses for impact speed determination

  16. Monte Carlo analysis to determine confidence in speed ranges
