Vehicle - Pedestrian - Bicycle
Collision Investigation Manual
By Tony L. Becker
REVISED EDITION - 2003
(previous work titled Vehicle - Pedestrian Collision
Investigation)
This manual is a must for the on-scene investigator, crash
reconstructionist or private investigator involved in determining the cause and
blame of any crash involving a vehicle and a pedestrian or bicyclist.
Amply illustrated with photographs, charts and diagrams, IPTM's
Vehicle-Pedestrian-Bicycle Collision Investigation Manual, written by Tony
Becker, will provide you with the information you need to know about pedestrian
dynamics as well as the proper steps to take to conduct an on-scene or follow-up
investigation of the collision site. To demonstrate his techniques in crash
reconstruction, the author includes one of his own case reports of an actual
incident involving a pedestrian and vehicle.
Now in it's second edition, you will still find the procedures for documenting
evidence and making a collision analysis as well as the special considerations
of steps and procedures needed for handling nighttime collisions. Yet you will
also discover an entire chapter devoted to the special considerations that must
be given to crashes involving bicycles.
All this information is contained within the following chapters:
- On-Scene Investigation
- The Pedestrian-Bicyclist
- The Vehicle
- The Analysis
- Bicycle Crash Investigation
- Appendix 1 (Profile and Data Sheets)
- Appendix 2 (Sample Report)

as needed: Data Sheets for Vehicle Contact, Pedestrian/Vehicle,
Pedestrian/Truck, Bicycle, and Pedestrian Injury; Vehicle Collision Contact
Sheet; Deformation Profile Sheet; Bicycle-Vehicle Crash Investigation, Collision
Scene Field Measurements; and both Objective and Subjective Nighttime Visibility

Tony Becker has over 25 years of law enforcement experience, the last 10 of
