The Institute will be presenting the next [approximately] three hour webinar for the membership [and guests] on Wednesday 29th January 2025 at 14:00 UTC. [please ignore any error in the automated emails where the time might be shown as being in a different zone]
Dr Michael Weyde
will be discussing
‘Possibilities and limitations in the evaluation of driving data from EDR for accident analysis’
The seminar is aimed at all accident analysts who are involved in the evaluation of driving data from event data recorders (EDR). After a short introduction to the historical development of driving data storage, the current status of EDR according to UN-ECE Directive R160 is presented. The evaluation of driving data from EDR is then presented using concrete case studies. Participants are provided with an EXCEL sheet that takes possible tolerances into account and offers various graphical representation options for accident reconstruction.
---------------------------
Michael Weyde is chairman of the board of the European Association of Accident Researchers and Accident Analysts (EVU). Since 2019, he has been active for the EVU as a member of the UN-ECE working group on the development of guidelines on EDR and DSSAD (Event Data Recording and Digital Storage Systems for Automated Driving, UN-ECE R157 and R160). He has been working on the evaluation of driving data from accident data storage devices since the early 1990s and therefore has exceptional expertise in this area. He is therefore also one of very few experts who are publicly appointed in this field.
The Institute of Traffic Accident Investigators announce the provision of a training course in Advanced Analysis of Drivers’ Responses (Human Factors in Traffic Crashes), Presented by: Dr Jeffrey W. Muttart.
To be held between 28th April and 2nd May 2025, 09:00 to 17:00 BST [please ignore any error in the automated emails where the time might be shown as being in a different zone] . The course will be presented as an online "webinar" using the 'Zoom' platform.

The students will receive five full days’ training and their knowledge will be tested at the end of the course. Students will be accredited with their attendance and the course will attract a minimum of 30 hours CPD.
Charges cover training for the five days; a copy of the latest edition of Dr Muttart’s reference book ‘Drivers’ Responses in Emergency Situations’; and use of the ‘Response’ software (previously IDRR) for 1 month.
"Crash Day" from the Institute of Traffic Accident Investigators
July 2025 sees the return of our very successful research day where you will be able to attend - for free - and view many staged crashes. We are hoping to have a number of stands and some ''audience participation' events.
So, book early to avoid disappointment, as when capacity is reached, we will have to stop accepting bookings.
Rules of Attendance
Your ticket will be issued on the understanding that you attend this event at your own risk. The Institute of Traffic Accident Investigators can take no responsibility for any loss or injury to persons or property during the running of the 'crash day'.
Your attendance at the events confirms your acceptance of the above and your agreement to follow the instructions of ITAI staff, organisers and council whilst at the event, included but not limited to vehicle parking and driving, routes to be walked and places to stand etc. You will be required to attend the safety briefing at, or shortly after, 9am, at which guidance regarding the day will be given, and to which your attendance at the day confirms your agreement to abide with those instructions.
For a sample of what you might see, here is a compilation video from 2022: https://youtu.be/ciRL4qdOJC4
