2007 ARC-CSI Crash Conference Data DVD

Included in Collision: Volume 2, Issue 2 is the 2007 ARC-CSI Crash Conference Data DVD. The 2007 ARC-CSI Crash Conference was attended by more than 250 professionals from around the world. The conference featured four fully instrumented and documented crash tests at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and 15 industry experts spoke on various topics, most of which related directly to the crash testing. In addition, this year we held two workshops that focused on using the information obtained during the crash testing and integrating it with real-world accident reconstruction techniques. The crash testing was conducted at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and all conference presentations were held at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino.

What you will find on the Data DVD:

Speaker Presentations: includes linked videos, scaled photos and data as captured by the various systems
Digital Photos: includes hundreds of high resolution photos. Each photo can be examined in full size. Photos show cars pre and post testing
Video Clips: includes dozens of videos: Multiple formats and sizes. Some in hi def, DVD quality and high speed.
Instrumentation Data: IST Accelerometers, BRT accelerometers (vehicle and human), Bosch CDR Data
Drawings: DWG and DXF. Includes each vehicle before and after impact. Roadway evidence includes impact and rest positions.
Programs: Adobe Acrobat Reader, Canadian Vehicle Specs, Units conversion program.
Other related documents and files.
