Human Factors, the interdisciplinary science of the human-object interface, and particularly
the safety aspects of this interface, combining Normal Psychology with Engineering
over 485 traffic accidents have been investigated, analyzed and reconstructed to date as part of the forensic engineering work, including consideration of highway design and safety issues, such as geometric configuration, signage, striping (painted lines on the road surface), traffic controls, and conformance to the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices and highway design standards
● Technical Accident Investigation (2 weeks)
acquired personal knowledge of Human Factors in practice and the human-machine and human-facility interfaces while working in industrial facilities, for 1 1/2 years full time and then at a number of times over the following 15 1/2 years during shorter work periods at industrial facilities, up to 3 months at a time, which directly built on the education in the principles of Human Factors acquired in college coursework in Engineering and Normal Psychology
Human Factors has been routinely used as an integral part of our forensic engineering work over the last 28 years, in the engineering analysis of accidents, consumer products, industrial and commercial equipment, and facilities involved in accidents, including the analysis of Safeguards and Warnings when they are present, and the analysis for the need for additional or alternate Safeguards and Warnings. Human Factors is an integral part of the engineering analysis of Safeguards and Warnings, and their use, and the analysis for the need for Safeguards and Warnings.
during 17 years working in industrial operations and design engineering, used Human Factors as an integral part of engineering design, including specification of Safeguards and Warnings, which requires the use of Human Factors.

● Crash Data Retrieval (CDR)* Technician 1 & 2 Certification (2 days)
● Crash Data Retrieval (CDR)* Data Analyst Certification (1 week)
Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) is the term for the retrieval of crash data, pre-crash data, and other recorded data from passenger cars, SUVs and light trucks using a specific software and hardware system designed for this purpose. This system was originally designed by Vetronix, and later acquired by Bosch. The system has been, and is, expanded regularly. The system was designed in conjunction with vehicle manufacturers, with involvement by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA). This system accesses selected control modules in many vehicles for the crash and event related data. This data is recorded on the Event Data Recorders (EDR) associated with Airbag Control Modules (ACM), Powertrain Control Modules (PCM) or Roll-over Sensors (ROS) in these vehicles. This data is retrieved either directly from the modules or through the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC), using equipment specifically designed for this purpose. The data available, and its source, varies by vehicle manufacturer, vehicle model, and model year. Data is not currently available from all covered vehicle classes. The specific components of vehicles associated with Crash Data Retrieval, and the names and acronyms assigned to these components, can vary by vehicle manufacturer.
