This 40-hour Vehicle Dynamics course includes instruction on how vehicles behave before, during, and after a collision. Much of the course will be spent determining advanced acceleration and deceleration factors to determine time/distance relationships for colliding vehicles. Officers will be instructed on topics including yaw and rotation, post-collision complex drag factor determination, hydroplaning, rollovers and occupant kinematics. Officers will apply empirical testing techniques and mathematical formulas to determine energy, speed and velocity. Students will need a calculator with square root function, sine/co-sine, and parentheses and will participate in outside exercises. NOTE: THIS CLASS IS GRANT FUNDED AND FREE TO OHIO OFFICERS.
