Class Announcement Crash Energy Analysis Training

The Kentucky State Police Collision Reconstruction Program is proud to announce an upcoming advanced training opportunity in Crash Energy Analysis, presented in partnership with J.S. Held and nationally recognized reconstruction expert Gregory Russell.

This course will provide an in-depth examination of crash energy principles and their practical application in serious injury and fatal collision investigations. Attendees will strengthen their understanding of energy-based speed analysis, vehicle crush measurements, stiffness coefficients, and the proper use of published crash test data. Instruction will bridge the gap between theory and courtroom-ready application, ensuring participants can confidently articulate and defend their findings.

Topics will include:

Fundamental principles of kinetic energy and work-energy methods

Vehicle crush analysis and damage interpretation

Use of NHTSA crash test data and stiffness coefficients

Delta-V calculations and momentum considerations

Integrating energy analysis with EDR data

Report writing and courtroom testimony considerations

This training is designed for collision reconstructionists seeking to enhance their analytical skillset and deepen their technical understanding of crash energy methodologies. The course will be highly technical and mathematically focused, providing practical tools that can be immediately applied to complex investigations.

Additional details regarding dates, location, and registration procedures will be distributed soon.
