An Automobile Accident Is Reconstructed From Photographs Taken At The Scene By The California Highway Patrol. The Plaintiff Attorney Claimed That There Should Have Been A Protected Left Turn Lane. The State Claimed That The Accident Was Not Caused By The Absence Of A Left Turn Pocket And Was The Result Of Driver Error. This Paper Describes How The Accident Was Reconstructed By The Author Using Only Photo-Graphs Taken By The Chp And First Principles Of Physics. This Reconstruction Is Compared To That Of The Plaintiff Expert Who Used The Commercial Computer Program Pc-Crash.

Obviously, communication is one of the most important aspects of forensic engineering. Communication is certainly important between both the engineer and the lawyer as well as the engineer and the jury. Of course, communication involves not only sending a message to someone but also making sure that the message is understood by the person receiving it. Speaking and sending letters are two methods of sending a message. However, perhaps a more direct form of communication is visual. The old adage 'a picture is worth a thousand words' has been proven many, many times. Therefore, this discussion deals with two very specific methods of achieving communication through visual presentation. First of all, understand that these two methods are directed primarily toward accident reconstruction. For purposes of illustration, an automobile accident will be used as an example; however, these methods can be applied to other types of accidents as well. The first method, one involving aerial photography, is currently under development. The other method, which is primarily graphic, is already developed and available through several graphic companies or individuals.

The state of Michigan has been constructing directional crossovers in the medians of boulevard roadways since the 1960s to alleviate the congestion and interlocking that were occurring at bidirectional crossover locations. The objective of this research is to investigate the safety benefits of divided roadway and directional crossover median designs. An investigation of the mean accident rates of roadways with boulevards compared to the mean accident rates of roadways with continuous center left-turn lanes revealed that there is a significant difference, with boulevard roadways having a lower mean accident rate for those Michigan roadways investigated. Investigation into the difference of the mean accident rates for boulevard roadways with medians of different widths indicated that roadways with medians greater than 9.15 m (30 ft) but less than 18.30 m (60 ft) had the lowest mean accident rate of the three median categories investigated. The difference was significant for most accident types when compared to roadways with medians less than or equal to 9.15 m (30 ft) and greater or equal to 18.30 m (60 ft). The investigation of the accident rates for boulevard roadways with directional and bidirectional signalized crossovers, while not conclusive, indicated that boulevard roadways with direction crossovers had a lower mean accident rate than boulevard roadways with bidirectional crossovers for signalized roadways.

In the first volume of my “Attempt to establish the First Principles of Chemistry by Experiment,” p. 442, I give the analysis of the sodium chloride of gold, and find the constituents to beBut I state at the same time, my uncertainty whether the gold in the salt was in the state of a chloride or muriate. This uncertainty raising a doubt, whether the peroxide of gold contained two or three atoms of oxygen, I thought it highly necessary to clear it up. In this paper, I shall state the experiments which I have made with that object in view.

This paper overviews the state of craftsmanship in feeling acknowledgment from content and give music. Music is oftentimes alluded to as a “language of emotion”, and it is characteristic for us to classify music in terms of its enthusiastic affiliations. This paper, investigations the utilize of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for dismember the human dialect and make information models out of it. But to develop a computer program which is able give music based on text’s feeling. There may be impressive difference with respect to the recognition and translation of the feelings of a melody or uncertainty inside the piece itself. In this paper we provide a platform that tailors music according to a user-specific emotion, while also opening up the user to music they might not have perceived earlier on in life – the powers of recommendation and discovery in one piece of technology.

During The Analysis And Reconstruction Of An Automobile Accident, It Is Often Necessary For The Forensic Engineer To Examine The Headlights Or Taillights Of A Vehicle In An Attempt To Find Evidence Which Will Allow For A Determination Of Whether Or Not The Lights Were On And Operating At The Time Of The Collision. This Paper Describes The Use Of Digital Photomicroscopy For The Evaluation And Documentation Of Such Evidence.

Passenger car accidents alone rank among the top five causes of death for the general population and in particular constitute the leading cause of death for the one to twenty-four year old age group. Personal and product liability analysis requires an interdisciplinary research between pathologists and forensic engineers through mathematical modeling and laboratory tests. Similarly, in accident reconstruction a forensic engineer teamed in a multidisciplinary practice with pathologists and attorneys can produce a vivid scenario of the accident using a limited input obtained through diverse sources of information. In this article, various simulation programs relevant to accident investigation are briefly discussed. Dynamics of a simplified two-car crash is heuristically presented and finally the role of the experience forensic engineer and his collaborative effort with pathologists and attorneys in reconstructing a disputed accident are emphasized.
