Using Microsoft Excel with Advanced Monte Carlo Analysis for Traffic Reconstruction

INSTRUCTOR: To Be Determined

COST: $999

LENGTH: 4 days (32 hours)

LOCATION: Surprise, AZ

CATEGORIES: Accident Investigation, Traffic Stops

NOTES: Prerequisites: The student must have successfully completed an accident reconstruction/technical class. Why use Excel for Traffic Crash Reconstruction? Consider the following points:  Errors have been found in commercial accident reconstruction software.  You do not know what goes behind the scenes in commercial accident reconstruction software because you did not program it.  Most jurors have at least heard of Excel because it comes free with many store-bought computers. Jurors are comfortable with Excel.  You can testify that you programmed the equations yourself and that nothing unusual is happening behind the scenes.  With Excel, you are not stuck with a pre-formatted results output. Your data may be customized for each reconstruction that you do.  Excel can handle multiple phases of a crash reconstruction, while commercial software must deal with one phase at a time. For example, a spin analysis may be combined with any number of energy losses in one spreadsheet.  There is not one accident reconstruction program that does everything. Excel can be programmed to do just about anything. You are only limited by your imagination.  This four-day class includes an extra day dedicated to monte Carlo analysis.
