Expert Engineering Investigations for the Legal and Insurance Industries Lighting and Visibility Personal Injuries due to Inadequate Interior Lighting Conspicuity of Vehicles - A tractor-trailer across a roadway may be difficult to see at night if not properly marked. This situation can result in a tractor-trailer under-ride. Visibility of Pedestrians and Cyclists - The level of lighting, the colour of a person's clothes, the manner in which they are moving and the amount of background clutter are some of the factors which contribute to the visibility of a pedestrian or cyclist. Line of Sight Obstructions - We can assess how objects in the area of an incident obstruct the views of the parties involved. By considering the speeds and locations of the parties we can determine when and for how long the object was an obstruction. Sign Maintenance - The reflectivity of a street sign such as a stop sign can diminish making it less visible. Failure to see a stop sign can result in serious accidents. Sun Angle - We can determine the location of the sun in the sky at the time of an incident. The glare from the sun can affect a driver's ability to see hazards. 1439 Legion Road Burlington, ON L7S 1T6 Map to Office Tel: (905)632-3040 Toll Free: 1-800-263-6351 Fax: (905)632-2131 E-Mail: forensic@forensiceng.ca The Services We Offer Our Areas of Expertise Vehicle Collision Reconstruction Other Transportation Losses Lighting and Visibility Fires and Explosions Electrical Failures Materials Failures Personal Injury Structural Losses
