Surveillance, dash-camera, or other video can help establish pedestrian position, direction of travel, relative timing, and the sequence leading to contact. The usefulness of a recording depends on factors such as camera perspective, frame timing, image quality and resolution, obstructions, lens effects, and how much of the approach and collision sequence is actually captured.
Scene measurements and event-specific evidence can be used to examine how far the pedestrian traveled, where the pedestrian may have been during different portions of the sequence, and how the pedestrian and vehicle paths came together. When reliable video or other direct evidence is available, it can provide event-specific information about pedestrian movement and reduce reliance on an assumed walking speed.
Buildings, parked vehicles, roadway curvature, landscaping, and other physical conditions can affect available sight lines between a pedestrian and driver. Lighting, glare, contrast, and other visual conditions can separately affect pedestrian visibility or conspicuity. These features may provide important context for the collision. When visibility itself is a central disputed issue, additional expertise in visibility, lighting, or human factors may be appropriate.
The areas of expertise can overlap. A pedestrian accident expert may focus on pedestrian movement, crossing path, location, timing, and other evidence specific to the interaction between a pedestrian and a vehicle, while an accident reconstruction expert may address the broader collision sequence, including vehicle speed, braking, dynamics, trajectories, and vehicle movement. A pedestrian collision may involve both areas of analysis, depending on the technical issues in dispute and the expert's qualifications.
