About Robert
Robert Townsley is a Project Engineer with over 4.5 years of Mechanical Engineering experience, specializing in Collision Reconstruction. Robert investigates and analyzes vehicle incidents to determine vehicle orientation and locations at impact, pre-and-post impact speeds and movements, driver sightlines, driver potential to avoid, occupant kinematics, and seatbelt use and effectiveness. Robert has worked on high and low-speed collisions involving passenger cars & pickup trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, heavy vehicles (e.g. busses, tractor-trailers), off-road vehicles, pedestrians, animals, and tire failures.
