2009 ARC-CSI Crash Conference
June 1-4, 2009
Las Vegas, NV
Palace Station Hotel
Approved for ACTAR CEU's

The 2009 ARC-CSI Crash Conference was attended by more than 200 professionals from around the world. The conference featured 11 fully instrumented and documented crash tests at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and 11 industry experts spoke on various technical topics, most of which related directly to the crash testing. In addition, this year we held three 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 after they were conducted.

Crash testing for the conference was conducted by Jud Welcher and Brian Randles of Biomechanical Research and Testing (BRT), proven leaders in the field of human subject crash testing together with Rusty Haight of Collision Safety Institute and Brad Muir from the Ontario Provincial Police. 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.
