VEHICLE THEFT / RECOVERY
At
HRYCAY, we have the expertise to examine the steering column's
anti-theft devices and determine if the vehicle could have been
driven without a key. Further, we can evaluate the vehicle's
mechanical condition to establish if a motive for getting rid of
the vehicle (i.e., engine knock) had existed prior to the theft.

MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS
The
investigation of motorcycle accidents requires specialized
knowledge and experience in motorcycle dynamics and rider control.
Accident scene evidence is often scarce or ambiguous and requires
expert interpretation. HRYCAY Consulting Engineers have the
specialized knowledge and experience to do the job thoroughly and
professionally.

PEDESTRIAN / BICYCLE ACCIDENTS
Bicycle
and pedestrian accident investigations are much different from
vehicle-to-vehicle collisions due to the small amount of obvious
physical evidence available at the scene. With the large disparity
in object weights, the elastic and articulated nature of a
pedestrian, and the various trajectories associated with an
impact, special training and experience are needed to identify
evidence and carry out an engineering analysis.

HIGHWAY DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE
These accident scenarios involving a single
vehicle, curves in the road, deep drainage ditches, snow-covered
roadways, or double fatalities often initiates an action being
brought against a road authority. HRYCAY has been retained
by the Canadian Department of Justice; municipal Insurers in the
Provinces of Ontario, New Brunswick, and
Alberta
;
and by others in the
USA
including the State of
Ohio
.

VISIBILITY AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Full-scale
studies are most often carried out in order to understand the
subtleties of a scene. Environmental, lighting, vehicle, and
object conditions must also be considered in detail in conjunction
with the approach paths and speeds to understand the situation
being confronted by a motorist.
