Publications
Technical research publications allow peer reviewed analysis and
sharing of information with other researchers. Active critique, feedback,
and analysis by engineering peers benefit the field of accident
reconstruction and the advancement of the science of automotive
engineering. Accident reconstruction is an evolving science. Authoring
technical publications allows KEVA Engineering to remain at the leading
edge of accident reconstruction technologies. Our ongoing commitment to
publishing ensures that our case analysis is based on the latest
techniques and methodologies.
