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.

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
