Expert Biomechanical Analysis

Expert Biomechanical Analysis

  • Injury Criteria Assessment: Compass Consulting Engineers conducts thorough biomechanical analyses to assess injury criteria, including factors such as force, acceleration, and impact dynamics. By applying industry-standard injury criteria models, such as HIC (Head Injury Criterion) and NIC (Neck Injury Criterion), we evaluate the likelihood and severity of injuries sustained during accidents.

  • Medical vs. Biomedical Opinions: Biomechanical analyses often intersect with medical and biomedical opinions, requiring a nuanced understanding of both disciplines. Our team collaborates closely with medical experts to reconcile biomechanical findings with clinical assessments, ensuring a holistic understanding of injury mechanisms and outcomes.

Integration with Accident Reconstruction

Integration with Accident Reconstruction

  • Enhanced Accident Reconstruction: By integrating biomechanical analyses into accident reconstruction efforts, Compass Consulting Engineers provides a multidimensional understanding of accident scenarios. Through advanced simulation techniques and computational modeling, we recreate accident dynamics to elucidate the biomechanical factors contributing to injuries.

  • Evidence-Based Insights: Leveraging biomechanics, we offer evidence-based insights into accident causation and liability. Whether it's determining the impact forces involved in a vehicular collision or assessing the biomechanical implications of slip-and-fall accidents, our analyses provide critical support for legal proceedings and insurance claims.

MITIGATING ROADWAY HAZARDS

Understanding Guardrails & Edge Drop

Compass Consulting Engineers specializes in evaluating the effectiveness of guardrails and assessing edge drop scenarios to enhance roadway safety. Our analysis includes thorough examination of roadside hazards and their impact on accident patterns, enabling us to identify design flaws and implement corrective measures. By understanding the dynamics of the road environment, we provide valuable insights that mitigate risks for motorists and prevent accidents.

Collision Mitigation

  • Guardrails serve as protective barriers along roads and highways. They shield vehicles from hazards such as steep drop-offs, trees, or other obstacles.

  • During a collision, guardrails absorb impact forces, preventing vehicles from careening off the road and potentially saving lives.

Energy Channeling

  • When a vehicle collides with a guardrail, it channels energy away from the vehicle. The guardrail transforms kinetic energy into deformation energy, minimizing injury severity.

  • Properly designed and placed guardrails play a crucial role in redirecting collision forces and reducing the risk of more severe accidents.
