When understanding causal factors, every aspect must be analyzed, including the factors of human error. Human factors is the study of the limits of the human when exposed to a certain circumstance. The understanding of the limits a human can achieve helps to understand the causal factors, the how or why an event occurred the way it did. Our expertise helps to understand these issues and we utilize that information in our analyses.
Expert Testimony
Displaying and communicating the intricacies of human factors at the time of trial is the most important aspect of our work. We strive to keep oratory skills as our most fundamental skill so we can convey the science of forensics to everyone.
Overview of Services
Perception-Reaction Time
The study of how long it takes someone from the first moment something occurs to when the reaction takes place. Measured in seconds, this time can help to understand why something did or did not occur in the time available.
Pedal Misapplication
With more uses of driver pedal controls than ever before, misapplication of one of the pedals has increased in recent years. If the intention should have been opposite of what had occurred, it’s likely a misapplication of the pedal occurred.
Driver Distraction
From infotainment to all aspects of what smartphones can do, there is more distraction inside and outside of a vehicle to a driver than ever before. We can help assess what occurred to deter the gaze of a driver.
Line of Sight
While the time it takes to perceive an object is important, we must assess the likelihood that object can be perceived at all.
Transmissivity and Reflectivity
It’s an old question asked millions of times over – was an object visible under the given lighting conditions? We can help answer this question using state-of-the-art technology to determine the answer.
Physical and Psychological Conditions
In some circumstances, an individual can be distracted or have an impairment of other means than the typical. From mental health aspects to degenerative diseases, such as cataracts, we can help determine all causal factors.
