There are a number of useful web sites and tools available to provide Resources for Traffic Accident Investigation to the Traffic Accident Investigator. Some of the links to Resources for Traffic Accident Investigation are listed below. As time goes on, the intent is to add to this list.

Crash Test Information

NHTSA Crash Test Database (Online) – The NHTSA Vehicle Crash Test Database contains engineering data measured during various types of research, the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), and compliance crash tests. Information in this database refers to the performance and response of vehicles and other structures in impacts. This database is not intended to support general consumer safety issues. For general consumer information please see the NHTSA’s information on buying a safer car.

One of the more visited parts of this database is   Query by vehicle parameters such as make, model, and year  Includes information about the vehicle being tested (make, model, year, engine type) as well as data gathered during testing (travel angle, vehicle damage index, bumper engagement). Signal plotting, signal download, and download of an entire data set are supported by this application.

However, if you would prefer to have a handy little program on your own computer (so that you dont have to go online), a small program that will do most, if not all, of what you need called Convert for Windows can be downloaded from JoshMadison.com
