MEA Forensic’s Tom Flynn presents “Why SynthEyes Should be a Part of Your Toolkit” at Crash Day 2025, an annual event hosted by the Institute of Traffic Accident Investigators (ITAI). The 2025 edition takes place on Thursday, July 3, at the Darley Moor Race Circuit in Derbyshire, UK. Tom’s lecture is scheduled for 10:35 am, following the morning’s staged crash demonstrations.
Crash Day is a research-focused event for forensic collision investigators and industry professionals, organized in conjunction with Passive Safety UK. The program includes crash testing, technical lectures, and product demonstrations relevant to collision analysis. Tom’s presentation draws from practical tips developed through recent casework, as well as several MEA Forensic studies he co-authored, including a paper presented at the 2024 EVU Congress titled Bias and Uncertainty of Brake Onset Times Estimated from Onboard Video During Emergency Braking Events. He will also reference findings from two studies presented at the SAE World Congress Experience (WCX) 2025 in Detroit:
- The Effect of Tracker and Control Point Distributions on Vehicle Position and Speed Estimates from Dash Camera Video
- The Accuracy of Vehicle Speeds, Decelerations, and Brake Onset Times Calculated from Onboard Dash Cameras
The event typically draws over 600 attendees from sectors including emergency services, insurance, vehicle examination, roadside infrastructure, and traffic safety. In order to help raise awareness about passive road safety and support the ongoing effort to improve collision investigation and road safety, attendance is free. All participants must be registered with ITAI, they can do so here: www.itai.org/event-5962021
The ITAI is the official UK partner of the European Association for Accident Research and Analysis (EVU), a European-wide professional body focused on accident reconstruction and research.
