CLE: Reconstructing Accidents Using Technology

You are invited to join ARCCA expert Braydon Bourne for a complimentary CLE course,

“Reconstructing Accidents Using Technology.”

Date: Tuesday, October 20, 2026

Time: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Where: Zoom (see link below to register directly with ARCCA)

This course will discuss the crucial role that accident investigation and reconstruction play in resolving vehicle-related cases. This discussion will focus on the new trends in accident reconstruction and the tools and technology that reconstructionists utilize throughout their investigations. The presenting engineer will discuss a wide range of topics, from evidence documentation and preservation with three-dimensional laser scanners to using advanced light metering techniques to document scene illumination. The engineer will discuss incident severity and techniques such as event data recorder (EDR) imaging, component testing, and photogrammetry. Attendees will also learn about the latest technology that accident reconstructionists have available to them when investigating incidents. Whether it’s pioneering new 3D scanning methodologies, crisscrossing the U.S. to validate measuring technologies, or flying a drone to record a busy intersection at rush hour, our reconstructionists utilize peer-reviewed and generally-accepted methodologies in their analyses. The audience will come to appreciate terms and principles used in accident reconstruction such as delta-V, acceleration, and principal direction of force. The tools and technologies will be introduced, such as Computer Modeling & Simulations, Photogrammetry and Lighting or Conspicuity issues followed by case-studies and real-world examples.
