Crash Testing
Every year, the ARC-CSI Conference offers attendees full scale, practical, fully documented crash tests using state-of-the art equipment. The volume of testing has varied from as few as 4 to as many as 9 tests all conducted in the space of just a few hours at the world famous Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Unlike other conferences, at the ARC-CSI conference, you're not only allowed but encouraged to bring video and still cameras and will be given ample opportunity to take photos and video of the crashes and vehicles before and after the testing series. Moreover, at the end of the week, everyone in attendance will receive a DVD with conference proceedings as well as literally hundreds of high resolution photos of the testing vehicles, crash "scenes," video of the crashes from multiple angles and in multiple formats and the underlying real crash data collected from accelerometer data to vehicle and roadway evidence maps.
This year, an ambitious day of testing is planned including motorcycle-to-car crashes and car-to-pedestrian crashes to supplement presentations and workshops a the conference. Additional testing planned includes a series to illustrate Ford PCM pre-crash data, rollover technology (with another full scale rollover* as presented in 2006!) and the effect of a "PIT" maneuver on the "violator's" car and occupants - again tied into conference presentations. Additional crashes may be added as we near the conference date, but the morning of June 2 will surely be a busy, productive crash day.
