Motorcycle Accident Reconstruction - Hardcover
How do physical evidence, photographs and recorded data help reconstruct a motorcycle crash? Motorcycle Accident Reconstruction by Nathan A. Rose and William T. C. Neale is a technical reference for crash analysts, reconstruction consultants and safety engineers. It brings together relevant reconstruction literature and methods for interpreting physical evidence and applying mathematics and physics to an investigation. The listed topics include event data recorder case studies, photogrammetry and determining motorcycle speed at the time of an accident.
It also addresses factors affecting motorcycle visibility, nighttime motorcycle use and human factors in crashes, making it relevant to readers studying why a collision occurred and how the available evidence can be analyzed. The cover identifies it as an SAE International title in the Accident Reconstruction Series. This listing is for an illustrated 340-page hardcover, published December 10, 2018, with dimensions of approximately 1.06 × 10 × 8 inches. Choose it for structured professional study or reference; it is a book about investigation methods.

In a recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report, about one out of every 7 fatalities on the road involved a motorcycle. Itis clear that motorcyclists are more vulnerable and much more likely to be injured or killed in a crash than are passengers in a car accident.
Motorcycle Accident Reconstruction purposefully pulls together as much of the relevant accident reconstruction literature and science as possible to present definitive literature that meets the needs of the crash reconstruction industry. The reader will learn to analyze physical evidence, understand what it means, and how to incorporate math and physics into an investigation. Topics featured in this book include:
- Case studies utilizing event data recorder data
- Photogrammetry analysis
- Determining motorcycle speed at the time of an accident
The book provides a unique roadmap for the motorcycle accident reconstructionist user. It is written by two specialists in this field who provide analyses of physical factors that affect motorcycle visibility, motorcycle usage at night, and human factors in motorcycle crashes - to the greater understanding of crash analysts, consultants and safety engineers alike.
