When assessing the causal factors in an accident, our engineers at Momentum
Engineering Corp. (MEC) have performed hundreds of visibility studies and
re-enactments. A visibility study involves checking viewpoints, sight distance,
lighting and other factors, in order to determine the visibility available to
the individuals in the accident. A re-enactment can vary from closing a road,
positioning vehicles at pre-determined locations, and checking sight distance,
to correlating a pedestrian's injury pattern to the vehicle involved in the
accident.
MEC engineers have the training and experience to handle large scale
re-enactments and visibility studies. We routinely work with the necessary
governmental agencies and other experts on this type of work, and we coordinate
the project to assure that our clients' needs are met. Examples of re-enactments
are shown below:
