News Flash! Mazda has just signed an agreement with Bosch to allow Bosch CDR Toolkit software and hardware to access Event Data Recorder system information in Mazda vehicles. For details, please select the Mazda link. Honda/Acura has signed an agreement with Bosch; access to data in some Honda and Acura vehicles may soon be available with the CDR Toolkit. Bosch is currently in discussions with nine OEMs in addition to those already supported. It is likely that at least three of them will sign agreements with Bosch in 2012. Progress!

In May of 2009, I received my new Vericom VC4000DAQ. This is a vehicle-dyanamics-performance monitoring, analyzing, and recording computer which has tremendous features and advantages over the VC3000DAQ which I've used for four years. If you are interested in learning more about this device, please click on this link.
Since 1972, I have been involved in providing forensic consulting services. I have been involved in over 2000 motor vehicle accident investigations and reconstructions and have testified in hundreds of cases in State and Federal Courts. (My trial and deposition list of testimony starting around 1995 is available through a link below; there is no listing of testimony earlier than what is shown on that list.) I have taken numerous accident-reconstruction-specific courses (please see the biographical page). Observations are usually documented with a full-frame, digital, single-lens-reflex camera and saved in both RAW and high-resolution JPEG formats; Hi-8 videography or High-Definition digital videography is readily available if requested.
