Background
Mr. Chance Jones received a B.S. from the University of Utah in Mechanical Engineering. Mr. Jones’ primary areas of consulting expertise include accident reconstruction and investigation of heavy truck, automobile, bicycle, motorcycle, side-by-sidesor UTV, and pedestrian collisions. Every collision requires knowledge about electronic data retrieval and interpretation, physics, tire models, human factors, failure theories, and vehicle dynamics. Computer simulations and mathematical models are used to analyze vehicle dynamics involved in the collision. Once a collision is reconstructed, a graphic representation will be rendered at our clients’ requests.
Engineering services include accident reconstruction, including heavy truck, automobile, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents; state-of-the-art computer simulation and animation production; and engineering services including vehicle and site inspections, re-enactments, visibility studies, traffic signal analysis, simulations, Hollywood-style animations, vehicle dynamics, rollover dynamics, crash testing, mechanical failure analysis and design evaluation, and more. Collision evaluation services via computer-based analysis, as well as momentum and energy-based equations are also conducted.
