Course Description

Introduction

Traffic safety represents a major area where the improvements can be made, mainly as it saves human lives. To know the “why?” we need to determine “what and how it happened.”

This GLOMACS Traffic Accident Investigation online training course represents broad topics on investigating road traffic accidents, which is placed in the framework of immediate usefulness. It will take you to step – by – step process of the accident investigation while highlighting the crucial details which are to be used in expected output from the accident investigation. Also, modern technologies will enable the investigators to collect pieces of evidence in a safe, fast, and efficient manner, to be able to reduce the time needed for traffic flow to continue uninterrupted. This online training course extends its reach to incorporate these new technologies.

The traffic incidents are also a significant part of the problems related to health and safety. This online training course shall provide valuable insight into the process of investigation of the incidents. This will help, not only traffic engineers to better investigate traffic accidents, but also health and safety professionals. This online training course will help the participants to better understand the complex nature of traffic-related incidents; provide the required knowledge on how to implement them into the investigation related to the health and safety of the drivers including other people who are in any way involved in traffic. This online course is essential for anyone interested in road safety as a whole and provides a brief description of on-scene accident investigation methods that exist today.

This GLOMACS online training course will highlight:

Securing the scene of the accident, evidence identification and the on-scene measurement
Evidence preservation, scaled on-scene diagram production and evidence verification
Vehicle examination, photogrammetric, advanced techniques of on-scene measurement and evidence compatibility
Usage of available software or data for the further in-depth identification of the evidence
Traffic accident reconstruction
Modern technologies used in an on-scene investigation

Objectives

The accident investigation is a field of practice that requires specialized study, training and experience. This GLOMACS online training course is focused on the initial step towards the accident reconstruction and analysis, and will provide the delegates adequate knowledge to answer the questions: What? Where? When? Who? What with? Whom with? Why? How?

At the end of this GLOMACS online training course, participants will learn to:

How to investigate and reconstruct traffic accident
A better understanding of the investigation process
Learn how to reconstruct traffic accident through traffic evidence
Use traffic simulations to reconstruct cause and consequence of traffic accident
Learn to secure the scene

Training Methodology

This online training course will utilize a variety of proven online learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, retention of the information presented. The training course is conducted Online via an Advanced Virtual Learning Platform in the comfort of any location of your choice.

Organisational Impact
