\n\u201cThe laboratory will also support the delivery of IRTE\u2019s accident forensics and accident investigation programs.and offer its services to Police Training Schools, Colleges and Academies to train Police personnel into becoming Collision Investigators\u201c said Dr Rohit Baluja Speaking on the occasion<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cIRTE has already set up the first Collision Investigation & Research Cell (CIRC) at its campus in Faridabad in collaboration with Dr. Steffan Datatechnik, Austria and VIA, the Netherlands. The Accident Investigation Laboratory will expose Police personal to a realistic environment, enhancing the learning experience.. It will also provide support to civic and road maintenance agencies in road safety audit based upon the assessment of causes of road collisions\u201d Dr Baluja said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIRTE already conducts training on collision investigation and reconstruction across and courses for police personnel in different states including Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Delhi as well as at the National Police Academy at Hyderabad . IRTE\u2019s various prgrams give police personal the skills to conduct and analyse accident investigations based on proven knowledge and techniques relevant to road accidents\u201d Dr Baluja added.<\/p>\n

\u201c The Accident Forensic lab will help its students to better understand how accidents happen and the ways in which they can be avoided as accident investigation is still an emerging area, with experts in the field systematically breaking down the factors leading to an accident and drawing appropriate conclusions in order to prevent similar accidents happening in the future.The same accidents and incidents recur time and again and the lessons are missed entirely or misunderstood. To a considerable degree this may be attributed to the absence of effective investigation education and training, which is what we are addressing,\u201d Added Dr Baluja added.<\/p>\n
