MSC Research Hits the Presses

Over the last 7 months, MSC has been part of several research-intensive projects related to Heavy Vehicle ECM/EDR technology. We've traveled to Hattiesburg, MS, Charlotte, NC, and Wisconsin's Fox Valley for these tests. We've put quite a bit of time and money into these tests and we're happy to see the resulting publications start to roll off the presses.

Last month, the ECM Field Guide was published in the Accident Reconstruction Journal. The Field Guide was authored by Tim Austin (Wisconsin State Patrol) and co-authored by Bill Messerschmidt. It is meant to serve as a guidebook for accident investigators so that critical, crash-related evidence is preserved. Download a copy of the ECM Field Guide.

In October, Collision Magazine will publish Testing the Last Stop Record in the Mercedes MBE 4000 Engine. This article is authored by Benjamin Smith (ASI Investigations) and co-authored by Bill Messerschmidt and Ron DeMonia.

During September, we'll submit the first draft of our next research paper to SAE International, authored by Bill Messerschmidt and co-authored by Tim Cheek, Tim Austin, and Benjamin Smith. Then, on 29 September Bill will speak at the Pennsylvania State Police Reconstruction Seminar, where we expect to make two big announcements to the crash investigation community.
