Randy has investigated, inspected, and reconstructed hundreds of traffic collisions involving a wide range of vehicle types and roadway environments.

His work includes the collection and analysis of data from numerous electronic systems, including:

• Passenger vehicle airbag control modules (ACMs)

• Event Data Recorders (EDRs)

• Vehicle infotainment systems

• Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

• Commercial vehicle electronic control modules

• GPS and telematics systems

• Electronic driver logs

• Surveillance video systems

• Dash camera recordings

Through the integration of physical evidence, electronic data, and engineering analysis, Randy develops comprehensive reconstructions that help explain how and why collisions occurred.

Randy's training and experience in human factors allows him to evaluate driver behavior and performance leading up to a collision.

His analyses may include:

• Perception-response time evaluation

• Driver recognition and awareness assessments

• Visibility and conspicuity analysis

• Avoidance opportunity evaluations

• Driver decision-making processes

• Daytime and nighttime object recognition studies

Using peer-reviewed research and accepted engineering methodologies, Randy evaluates how drivers perceive hazards and whether collision avoidance opportunities existed under specific circumstances.

Randy specializes in extracting measurable evidence from digital imagery and video recordings.

Through advanced forensic analysis techniques, he can:

• Track moving vehicles and objects within video footage

• Determine vehicle speeds and acceleration rates

• Establish vehicle positions over time

• Analyze surveillance and dash camera recordings

• Perform camera matching and calibration

• Apply photogrammetry to obtain physical measurements from imagery

These techniques allow Randy to convert video evidence into quantifiable engineering data that can be used in accident reconstruction and litigation support.

Prior to joining Adamson Engineering, Randy worked for the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI), where he was responsible for the assembly, calibration, testing, maintenance, and repair of Falling Weight Deflectometers (FWDs) used by the Texas Department of Transportation.

His work involved:

• Mechanical systems

• Electrical systems

• Hydraulic systems

• Precision calibration

• Equipment testing and troubleshooting

This experience strengthened his understanding of complex mechanical systems, instrumentation, and data collection technologies that continue to support his forensic engineering work today.

Randy's interest in vehicles extends beyond his professional career. He has spent years working on both modern and classic automobiles and has developed extensive practical knowledge of:

• Engines and drivetrains

• Vehicle structures and frames

• Steering systems

• Suspension systems

• Electrical systems

• Automotive diagnostics and repair

This hands-on experience provides valuable real-world insight that complements his engineering training and accident reconstruction expertise.
