Driver and the environment is part of De Montfort University CertHE in forensic collision investigation.
The driver and the environment module comes in three blocks and builds on topics first touched on during the initial collision investigation course namely,
driver perception response time,
conspicuity and
the road on which we drive
Block 1 - The road on which we drive looks in much greater detail at road surface and how they affect the coefficient of friction. SCRIM is included.
Block 2 - Driver perception response time Here we look at in much greater detail at perception response times and the research that has gone into it. Night and day, anticipated response, the effects of age, tiredness, alcohol etc. are covered.
Block 3 - The issue of conspicuity, both day and night is covered here. Time to arrival, see and not seen etc. are all visited.
