Investigation of nighttime motor vehicle collisions represents one of the most challenging aspects of collision reconstruction. Nighttime collisions with motorcycles, pedestrians, cyclists, skateboarders, or wildlife will often require the investigator to assess the visibility of the struck object from the driver perspective at the time of the collision. Since lighting conditions, weather conditions and traffic conditions are continually changing, the ability of the investigator to create a perfect re-enactment is, by definition, not usually possible. As such, the investigator must make use of nighttime visibility assessment techniques to best reproduce the conditions at the time and correctly account for all other factors that are not in the investigator’s control. The goal of this panel discussion session is to share the combined experience and knowledge of the panelists with the audience regarding the tried-and-tested best practice techniques and tips of conducting nighttime collision re-enactments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
