Forensics Case 12 - Hit and Run: Using information from an event data recorder to reconstruct an ac

Activity Overview

Students learn how distance traveled, velocity, and acceleration are related to one another and how the appearance of an acceleration, velocity, or distance vs. time graph can be used to predict the appearance of the other graphs. They show how accident scenes can be recreated through an analysis of the data that are gathered by an event data recorder (EDR).
