On the Concept of Transportation Engineering Investigations

Abstract

The paper addresses the current need to develop a special theory of the category of transportation engineering investigations, which remains underexplored to date. The author argues that the significance of these questions goes beyond the theoretical issues of their concept and classification, or definition of the subject, objects and objectives of investigation, and involves such practical aspects as the lack of adequate methodological resources to support most subcategories of examinations. The concept of transportation engineering investigations is articulated based on the general concepts of engineering and technology capturing the substance of this category of forensic examinations.
