For those who have completed the CDR Technician Course, this CDR Tool Data Analyst course provides insight into the function of the automobile Event Data Recorder (EDR) function or subcomponent, interpretation of the recorded data as well as expanded analytical skills enabling the appropriate application of a Bosch Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) Tool generated data translation report to a situationally complete crash reconstruction.
There is no hands-on “downloading” activity in this class since it is assumed that those in attendance have recently completed the Technician course and understand that process along with the underlying concepts of data storage in the EDR subcomponent, CDR software troubleshooting and related error messages and their solution(s). For that reason, there is no need to bring a complete CDR Tool to this course. However, attendees must have a computer because course materials and exercise data sets are delivered digitally. Activity in this course is focused on reading, understanding, and applying a CDR Tool data translation report to a normal, situationally complete reconstruction.


This course is taught by W.R. "Rusty" Haight of Collision Safety Institute.

All attendees must bring a laptop computer with an available USB port.  Course materials will be distributed electronically via a thumb drive.

Additional:  Lodging and meals are the responsibility of each student/agency.

The Advanced Technical Collision Investigation course is the second level of instruction for police officers, investigators, and engineers investigating automobile collisions. The course will cover time and distance analysis in automobile collision investigations, linear perimeter measurements, crush damage analysis, vehicle dynamics, occupant kinematics, advanced airborne equations, conservation of linear momentum, and an introduction to automobile vs. pedestrian collision analysis. This course is designed for the police officer, investigator, engineer, or another person responsible for critical automobile collision investigation and analyzing those collisions. Attendees must bring a scientific calculator to class and a laptop computer to view ".pdf" files. Course materials will be provided electronically.


A mandatory prerequisite for the course is At-Scene Collision Investigation (Level I) from an accredited source (AIRS, Northwestern, IPTM, etc.) Students should expect substantial coursework and projects to reinforce course instruction. 


All attendees must bring a laptop computer with an available USB port.  Course materials will be distributed electronically via a thumb drive.
