June 1990: TAARS Annual Meeting, Bryan College Station, Texas  "Computer Animation: Its Impact on Accident Reconstruction"

July 1992:  Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania "Computer Animation in Accident Reconstruction"

October 1995:  (AIRIL)  The Inaugural, International Conference.  Gold Coast, Australia  "Accident Investigation, Reconstruction, Interpretation and the Law" paper titled:   "Accident Scene Measurement with Total Station, and Animation Evidence Admission" 

December 1995:    National Transportation Safety Board Staff Engineers Washington, D.C. "Current Technologies: Hardware and Software Options Now Available on the PC Platform"

February 27, 1997:  Advocates’ Society Courthouse Series  Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada   "What Makes Expert Evidence Effective at Trial?   Perspectives "Of Councel, Experts and the Judge"

March 1, 2003:   TAARS Annual Meeting, San Antonio, Texas.   "Recent Developments in Animation Technology – Effect on Reconstruction"

March 1998: Member of SAE Subcommittee on   "The Documentation of Computer Animations"

1990: LASER SURVEY CONVERSION:    Developed an efficient means by which "Total Station" surveying instrument data could be converted digitally to XYZ coordinate, polygonal based models for use in computer generated video graphic animations of reconstructed scenarios.

1991:  TOTAL STATION in Photogrammetry:  Perfected a process using a camera and tripod in conjunction with a total station to capture and record locations from which photographs were taken during an accident investigation. The application in animation, in chief, is to recreate final rest locations within the animation software and visualize the animation in comparison to a photograph.  

1993:   "HANDS OFF ANIMATION" Authored by Albert G. Fonda, P.E.:   Assisted in development of a module for converting simulation data from CRASHEX simulation software (Al Fonda and Associates), to computer generated video graphics animation without the need for user manipulated input, as well as the incorporation of extremely quick processing of this data to video. "Accident Reconstruction: Technology and Animation III", SAE-SP-946

1996:  REC-TEC Software Enhancement - Reconstruction Technologies, Lake Lure, N.C.  Provided software developer protocol information for exporting simulation data directly into 3Dstudio release 4.
