An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Traffic Accident Investigation
How to Identify and Collect Evidences
Course Overview
Traffic safety represents a major area where the improvements can be made, mainly as it saves human lives. To know the “why?” we need to determine “what and how it happened.”
This GLOMACS Traffic Accident Investigation training course represents broad topics on investigating road traffic accidents, which is placed in the framework of immediate usefulness. It will take you to step – by – step process of the accident investigation while highlighting the crucial details which are to be used in expected output from the accident investigation. Also, modern technologies will enable the investigators to collect pieces of evidence in a safe, fast and efficient manner, to be able to reduce the time needed for traffic flow to continue uninterrupted.
This course extends its reach to incorporate these new technologies; also, the traffic incidents are a significant part of the problems related to health and safety. It provides valuable insight into the process of investigation of the incidents. This could help, not only traffic engineers to better investigate traffic accidents, but health and safety professionals. As well to better understand the complex nature of traffic-related incidents and provides the required knowledge on how to implement them into the investigation related to the health and safety of the drivers, as well as other people who are driving or are in any other way involved in traffic. This course is essential for anyone interested in road safety as a whole and provides a brief description of on-scene accident investigation methods that exist today.
This GLOMACS training course will highlight:
- Securing the scene of the accident, evidence identification and the on-scene measurement
- Evidence preservation, scaled on – scene diagram production and evidence verification
- Vehicle examination, photogrammetric, advanced techniques of on-scene measurement and evidence compatibility
- Usage of available software or data for the further in-depth identification of the evidence
- Traffic accident reconstruction
- Modern technologies used in an on-scene investigation
