ABSTRACT
In books and other treatments of accident reconstruction, much emphasis is placed on investigation, measurement, and analysis. This is rightly so, since there are many challenges and much understanding to be gained in these areas, but one quickly encounters the need for more information still. Not all of the information that the reconstructionist needs for analysis is obtainable from investigation and measurement. One needs an arsenal of data that can be tapped quickly when the time comes to apply physics principles, study test data, analyze statistical trends, and so on. This chapter illustrates some data sources that will be useful and/or necessary to the reconstructionist.
