Motorcycle Deceleration Analysis Expertise
Motorcycle Deceleration Analysis Expertise
Precision in Motion
Motorcycle accidents often hinge on the intricate dynamics specific to a two wheeled vehicle. Our team specializes in motorcycle accident reconstruction, employing the fundamentals of physics and dynamics combined with research-based data to produce accurate results.
From calculating stopping distances to assessing impact forces, we provide precise analyses that clarify the mechanics of motorcycle accidents.
Enhanced Accident Reconstruction
By integrating the body of published data on motorcycle deceleration into our analyses, our reconstructions accurately account for variations in motorcycles, environment, and road conditions.

MITIGATING ROADWAY HAZARDS
Understanding Guardrails & Edge Drop
Compass Consulting Engineers specializes in evaluating the effectiveness of guardrails and assessing edge drop scenarios to enhance roadway safety. Our analysis includes thorough examination of roadside hazards and their impact on accident patterns, enabling us to identify design flaws and implement corrective measures. By understanding the dynamics of the road environment, we provide valuable insights that mitigate risks for motorists and prevent accidents.
Collision Mitigation
Guardrails serve as protective barriers along roads and highways. They shield vehicles from hazards such as steep drop-offs, trees, or other obstacles.
During a collision, guardrails absorb impact forces, preventing vehicles from careening off the road and potentially saving lives.
Energy Channeling
When a vehicle collides with a guardrail, it channels energy away from the vehicle. The guardrail transforms kinetic energy into deformation energy, minimizing injury severity.
Properly designed and placed guardrails play a crucial role in redirecting collision forces and reducing the risk of more severe accidents.
Motorcycle Slide Index
Motorcycle Slide Index
As part of ongoing investigations into motorcycle crashes, Compass Consulting Engineers has compiled data from numerous studies regarding the drag factor of a motorcycle sliding on its side. At the time of this writing,11 studies published over 36 years dating back to 1984 have been compiled. When grouped by parameters such as those described below, the combined studies produced more than 70 results or ranges of results. A matrix of data compiled from the studies and a list of the studies included in the compilation can be found and downloaded be:
