  We are pleased to announce final training of 2024 hosted by NAPARS:

  Heavy Vehicle Event Data Recorder (HVEDR) Use in Traffic Crash Investigation Analyst Training, by Forensic Training Group (https://forensictraininggroup.com/)
  

  This four-day training offers further training into the history, development, and function of heavy vehicle digital forensics. The investigator’s expanded interpretation skills will assist in the completion of a situation-based crash reconstruction.  Topics include:  

  • Best practices used to access and document HVEDR data,
  • HVEDR Data Available on Heavy Trucks,
  • Use of OEM software/adapters,
  • Use of the Synercon Forensic Link Adapter and TruckCRYPT software,
  • Validation Testing  
  • Case Analysis

  • Outside testing on Tuesday or Wednesday, half day, be prepared for dirty work!
    

  Eligible for ACTAR credits

  Location: Training facility for Savannah Police Department, 3401 Edwin Street, Savannah GA
  

  September 23-26 ( Monday thru Thursday), 8-5 every day.

  Dr. Dipl.-Ing. Michael Weyde will spend 2 hours with us discussing the uses of EDR data in crash analysis. He is an internationally-recognized expert in many aspects of crash analysis, but most of the documentation I've found is in German. Go figure, since that's where he's from and lives and works. He brings the European perspective to crash analysis. The physics doesn't change, but how one evaluates crashes might. 

  
  

  This program has been approved for 2 ACTAR CEUs, and participants will be able to request an attendance certificate from NAPARS as well during the event.

  Dr. Weyde's discussion outline is as follows:

  Data in vehicles and their evaluation
  

  1. Basics
  

  
  

  1.1. What data can be expected in vehicle control units? (Not only Airbag-Control-Module ACM, but also RADAR-, Camera- and Brake-Control-Units)

  
  

  1.2. How is the data generated?

  
  

  1.3. How can we access data in Event Data Recorder (EDR)?

  
  

  2. Impact-related change of speed (Delta-V)

  
  

  2.1. What is Delta-V in the EDR of ACM and how is it calculated?

  
  

  2.2. How accurate are the Delta-V values in EDR?

  
  

  2.3. How can the Delta-V values ​​be used in accident reconstruction? (Determination of accelerations, impact-related forces and distances traveled during the collision or actually within 250 ms from t0)

  
  

  3. Pre-collision speed in the ACM‘s EDR

  
  

  3.1. How is the "vehicle indicated speed" in the EDR determined?

  
  

  3.2. What system-related and possible tolerances due to driving dynamics must be taken into account for the indicated speed?

  
  

  3.3. Practical application for determining the possible upper and lower range of the actual vehicle speed using an EXCEL template
