Forensic engineering text helps reconstruct bicycle accidents
"I wrote BICYCLE ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION FOR THE FORENSIC
ENGINEER to fulfill the need to bring engineering scrutiny to
the reconstruction of bicycle accidents," says engineer
James M. Green of Asheville, North Carolina.
BICYCLE ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION is divided into sections dealing
with the engineering kinetics of bicycle accidents, reaction
times, and civil engineering issues such as bicycle conspicuousness
and the impact of metallurgy of bicycle frames on reconstruction.
By using the principles in this book, the practicing Professional
Engineer should be able to reconstruct bicycle accidents with
a high degree of Engineering and scientific certainty.
"I wrote this book to aid in bringing the principles of
engineering and science:into determining the causal factors of
bicycle accidents," says
Green,
"I'd like engineers to use the principles in this
book to define the reasons bicycle accidents occur and to provide
that information to the engineering and cycling community in
order to make cycling a safer mode of transportation. B.ICYCLE
ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION is the only existing text on this subject."
James M. Green is a professional engineer who
has been racing bicycles and in triathlons for over 30 years.
His firm has a laboratory where testing is accomplished for the
reconstruction of bicycle accidents. Jim is a Fellow in the American
Society of Civil Engineers and the National Academy of Forensic
Engineers. He is a diplomate in the American Academy of Environmental
Engineers, and a member of the National Society of Professional
Engineers. He sits on several technical committees dealing with
bicycle safety and standards.
