Each group made a presentation to the class, then the radar documented speed was revealed. In 1995, in association with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office Training Bureau, we conducted a test day to develop a strategy for finding evidence of Anti Lock Braking System tiremarks on the roadway. Accident Investigators from across the area were invited to watch the marks being left, then make their subjective observations. At the end of the day we pooled our observations and made some recommendations for finding these marks at future accident scenes. The 1996 test day is still in the works.
Preliminary plans call for another staged two car collision.
We would also like to drop a car from a crane to simulate a frontal barrier collision. These test speeds will be blind to the class. In an attempt to bring the combined members resources to bear on another problem. We will conduct many minor sideswipe collisions. The details of the class and gathering of resources are still being worked out.
