Auto Accident Investigation, Testing & Analysis
ATA's concentration on automotive accident investigation,
automotive accident reconstruction, and automotive testing
and analysis are second only to our heavy trucking activity.
Our staff is highly experienced in reconstructing and analyzing
all of types of automotive accident combinations, whether
involved with heavy trucks, other automobiles, pedestrians, or
in single-vehicle accidents.
Our experience base also includes
light trucks and SUV’s. In fact, ATA has participated in detailed
and extensive SUV rollover testing.
We have also developed a strong background in the arena of testing, analysis and accident reconstruction for motorcycles.
As a leader in the area of automotive accident reconstruction services and auto accident analysis, some of the complex issues our staff has addressed include fuel system failures, vehicle fires, seat belts, night visibility, rollovers, electrical system failures, control system failures, seat failures and door lock failures.
In the process of performing auto accident analysis, we have become highly experienced in setting up and performing a wide variety of automotive performance tests; as well as in the interpretation of the data collected. In addition to crash tests, we have conducted tests to explore issues of braking, loss of steering effectiveness, transmission operation, ECU failure, fuel control unit failure and electrical system failure modes on automobiles.
We are also expert at retrieving and interpreting CDR "Black Box" data from a variety of vehicles.
Our staff, in conjunction with the production capabilities of our graphics department, can also use the extensive knowledge and experience gained in the performance of automotive accident reconstruction and testing for the development of driving and safety training programs.
