View the Photo Slideshow from 2007 ARC-CSI Crash Day

The 2007 ARC-CSI Crash Conference was attended by more than 250 professionals from around the world. The conference featured four fully instrumented and documented crash tests at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and 15 industry experts spoke on various topics, most of which related directly to the crash testing. In addition, this year we held two workshops that focused on using the information obtained during the crash testing and integrating it with real-world accident reconstruction techniques. The crash testing was conducted at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and all conference presentations were held at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino.

Everyone attending the conference was able to video,
photograph and inspect the crashes as they were conducted.

Crash testing for the conference was conducted by Tom Szabo and Jud Welcher of Biomechanical Research and Testing (BRT), proven leaders in the field of human subject crash testing together with Rusty Haight of the Collision Safety Institute and Brad Muir from the Ontario Provincial Police. In addition, Billy Cox and his team of EFI Global engineers conducted low speed testing that was also presented during the conference. Together, BRT and CSI have conducted more than 200 crash tests over the years and have set the standard in conference crash test conduct together with data collection and distribution.

The ARC-CSI Crash Conference

The ARC-CSI Crash Conference sets the standard for excellence in crash testing and conference proceedings. There is no other Conference like it! No where else can you witness fully instrumented, documented, live, full scale crash testing and other pertinent demonstrations first hand, attend presentations by recognized leaders in their field, and then leave with all the crash data, photos and video of the testing, copies of presentations for later review, related documents and reference material in hand, right then, at the conference conclusion.
