The Institute of Traffic Accident Investigators announce the provision of a training course in Advanced Analysis of Drivers’ Responses (Human Factors in Traffic Crashes), Presented by: Dr Jeffrey W. Muttart.
To be held between 20th to 24nd May 2023, 09:00 to 17:00 BST [please ignore any error in the automated emails where the time might be shown as being in a different zone] . The course will be presented also as an online "webinar" using he 'Zoom' platform.
This five-day training course will include training in various topics relative to human factors, including but not restricted to:
The students will receive five full days’ training and their knowledge will be tested at the end of the course. Students will be accredited with their attendance and the course will attract a minimum of 30 hours CPD.
Charges cover training for the five days; a copy of the latest edition of Dr Muttart’s reference book ‘Drivers’ Responses in Emergency Situations’; and use of the ‘Response’ software (previously IDRR) for 7 days.
Aart Spek is an engineer and has more than 25 years of experience in road accident reconstruction. The first case where he combined digital and physical traces dates back more than 17 years, and he helped in shaping this ‘hybrid approach’ by sharing several of his findings within the EVU-conferences.
Found an iPhone aboard your case vehicle? It might well have recorded the drive up to the crash – velocities included! Aart has analyzed iPhone data in several cases and tested the data in experiments. He will explain how to obtain the data and, more importantly, how to assess its plausibility and accuracy.
The webinar is on 29th May 2024 at 12:00 BST [please ignore any error in the automated emails where the time might be shown as being in a different zone]
"Crash Day" from the Institute of Traffic Accident Investigators
June 2024 sees the return of our very successful research day where you will be able to attend - for free - and view many staged crashes. We are hoping to have a number of stands and some ''audience participation' events.
So, book early to avoid disappointment, as when capacity is reached, we will have to stop accepting bookings.
Rules of Attendance
Your ticket will be issued on the understanding that you attend this event at your own risk. The Institute of Traffic Accident Investigators can take no responsibility for any loss or injury to persons or property during the running of the 'crash day'.
Your attendance at the events confirms your acceptance of the above and your agreement to follow the instructions of ITAI staff, organisers and council whilst at the event, included but not limited to vehicle parking and driving, routes to be walked and places to stand etc. You will be required to attend the safety briefing at, or shortly after, 9am, at which guidance regarding the day will be given, and to which your attendance at the day confirms your agreement to abide with those instructions.
The anticipated list of crashes is:
Subject to vehicle and object availability
