ConferenceConference 2009 Conference 2009 will be a combined event with EVU. Click here to learn more about EVU Saturday 26th and on Friday 25th there will be a field day at MIRA Conference Venue: The Hinckley Island Hotel Leicestershire LE10 3JA
Field Day: MIRA Test Facility
There will be demonstrations of modern technology including ESC, automatic braking and automatic hazard detection and braking with additional activities planned. Delegates will have to opportunity to drive a variety of vehicles including Coaches, Bendy Buses, Routemasters, Petrol Tankers and Articulated lorries which they would not normally drive. This will be conducted in a private area, with instructors on each vehicle, the delegates will need to have a current licence but will not need to have the category of licence for that particular vehicle. MIRA has a state of the art wet track area, or low friction surface, which will be used to allow delegates to have a driving experience, with MIRA staff, using vehicles with all the electronics that are on a modern vehicle enabled and then turn them off to experience for themselves what effect they have on vehicle stability when driven in harsh conditions. There are three workshops planned: US Collision Data Retrieval Tool, Scene photography, and (to be confirmed) Honda Collision avoidance/mitigation system and the latest generation ABS 2. Main Conference: Specially Invited Keynote Speakers: Dietmar Wüller - Image Engineering, Germany Jeff Muttart - UMTRI, University of Massachusetts, USA Chris Winkler - UMTRI, University of Michigan, USA Wade Bartlett - (New Hampshire) USA
Main Topics: Night time collisions, including pedestrians and visual perception at night and Roll-over collisions.
A wide range of other collision investigation and reconstruction papers are being presented - please see speaker and topic list below.

Shoulder Events To Conference Vehicle Accident Reconstruction Methods Course - Brach Engineering: This seminar is devoted to the exposition, use and limitations of the engineering, scientific and mathematical principles and methods used to reconstruct vehicular accidents. The primary objective is to help the attendees achieve a high level of understanding of these methods. The course covers a wide range of topics including uncertainty, impact mechanics, Tyre mechanics, vehicle-pedestrian impacts and vehicle dynamics. Most of the calculations can be carried out using commonly available spreadsheet technology suitable for personal computer use. More information about the course and costs may be found on the forthcoming events page or download course content details pdf here. To find out even more about the course please contact: Matt_Brach@BrachEngineering.com or Ray_Brach@BrachEngineering.com ********************************************************************** Partners' Programme: Friday - Shakespeare country / Stratford upon Avon / Warwick Castle Saturday - Shopping in Coventry Sunday - Half day to local craft village; out for lunch Monday - Althorp House.
