  Advanced Driver Assistance Systems for the Crash Reconstructionist

Major auto manufacturers are equipping the majority of their new vehicles with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and it’s important for traffic crash investigators, reconstructionists, attorneys, and other professionals to “stay ahead of the curve."

Exclusive to Northwestern University Center for Public Safety, this dynamic new course offers a detailed look at the rapidly growing field of self-driving vehicles and ADAS features. Learn about what is available, how it works, and what will happen in a crash scenario. Vehicle design and reconstruction expert Alan Moore also looks at how to determine if ADAS systems were installed, if they enabled, and functioned as designed in a vehicle associated with a collision. Moore demonstrates ADAS systems at work, and attendees will conduct tests and demonstrations on a closed test facility to evaluate system performance.

In only four days, participants will learn to:

- Use available electronic data specifically tailored for ADAS systems;
- Identify applicable state and federal regulations;
- Formulate a plan to approach accident reconstruction using the new technology;
- Define performance parameters based on currently available standards and protocols
- Summarize what technology exists, whether in current production or under development; and,
- Explain the ethical and societal implications of ADAS technology.
