​​WISCONSIN STATE PATROL ACADEMY
ADVANCED CRASH DATA RETRIEVAL (CDR/EDR)

​TOPICS OF INSTRUCTION INCLUDE:

• ​Overview of pre crash data sources and recorded crash pulse daa
• Calculating Δv from acceleration data
• Calculating impulse Δv from x/y Δv data
• Calculating pdof from x/y Δv data
• Adjusting x axis Δv to represent impulse Δv
• Single Equation Approach to 360˚Momentum Analysis
• Calculating Impact & Post Impact Velocities from CDR data (Δv & pdof)
• Reconciling Pre Crash and Post Crash CDR data
• Analyzing CDR data in Context of your Reconstruction​

OBJECTIVES:

The purpose of this class is to teach the class participants how to work with the CDR data, particularly how to properly use the Δv data to determine impact and post impact velocities in various types of collision scenarios. All the projects presented in the class are based on actual collisions using downloads obtained from those collision. Reinforcing that the techniques taught in this class can in fact be applied to the real world.

The class provides ample case studies to effectively illustrate the concepts and invite students to provide cases of their own for review. This is a very hands-on, but flexible class and well worth the tuition.
