Book Description

September 2004
Traffic accident investigators and reconstructionist probably have the common speed and sliding formulas memorized. However, there likely are formulas out there that you haven’t committed to memory. And, while it’s not practical to carry around a large textbook to every accident scene, having some type of reference would make your job easier. That is why the Pocket Traffic Accident Reconstruction Guide was created.

Timothy Stabb, the author, created the Pocket Traffic Accident Reconstruction Guide to be an easy to use reference for anyone investigating a traffic accident. The guide is a pocket-sized booklet containing over eighty equations to compute vehicle velocity/speeds, distance, time acceleration rates and more. Designed to fit in a shirt pocket or briefcase, this handy guide also contains a glossary of traffic collision terms, a table of roadway friction coefficient values and a conversion multiplier.

Contains equations for: • Converting speed from MPH to FPS • Converting velocity from FPS to MPH • Airborne projectile motion • Center of gravity mass • Pedestrian impact • many more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pocket Reference, May 23, 2007
By 
R. A. Meadows "Tony Meadows" (Hendersonville, Tennessee) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pocket Traffic Accident Reconstruction Guide (Paperback)
Great pocket reference book for use on a crash scene to help remind you of the information you need for specific crash formulas. The other reviewer referred to it as a "flimsy cheaply bound tract". I agree that it would be even better in a plastic cover. And even waterproof pages would be great since bad crashes frequently occur in bad weather. BUT, it's a pocket guide and size/weight matter. I can't fit my crash manuals in my pockets or the saddle bags of my motorcycle, so I'll give it a 5 star rating.
