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. Video footage of crash test #2 conducted at the 2007 ARC-CSI Crash Conference. Two cars moving, Ford Aspire turns left in front of Chevy Malibu. Bullet: 2000 Chevy Malibu -3045 lbs. Impact speed: 34 mph; Delta V: -6 to -8 mph. Target: 1995 Ford Aspire - 2000 lbs. Impact speed: 12mph; Delta V: -27 mph.
