Your Vehicle on the Road to Forensic Engineering & Specialized Assessment Services

 


 Vehicle Engineering

 Vehicle defects can be viewed from several perspectives:

       Product design defects
       These are not limited to just the vehicle systems components, but include
       the documentation and literature that are apart of the vehicle

       Manufacturing Assembly defects are a consideration when the factory doesn’t do its
       job properly and it results in injury or property damage.
 

 Automotive industry knowledge is essential when vehicle engineering comes into
 consideration.  American Technical has the capabilities to evaluate vehicle defects and the
 proper equipment to facilitate the evaluations
 

    Automotive diagnostic equipment

     Crash Damage Recorder
 

 The CDR data can be extracted directly from the vehicle or extracted for use later and
 “bench”  extracted.   Data most often referred to includes:
 

Drivers Seat Belt status

   Passenger front air bag suppression
 

Vehicle speed prior to crash
Brake switch circuit status

     Percent throttle

Engine speed prior to crash


 American Technical can provide a  “Black Box” presentation to you or your organization for a
 better understanding of what the vehicle Black Box means to your case.
