Mr. Alan Asay is an accomplished Professional Engineer and consultant in the field of forensic engineering. With more than twenty years experience in investigation, litigation support, testing, and consulting for clients across the western United States he is a leader in the field of reconstruction research.

Mr. Asay’s path to becoming a successful Professional Engineer began early in his education. With a love of drafting and math combined with an eye for detail Mr. Asay developed unique skills visualizing and depicting challenging mechanisms. He won several drafting awards that set the stage for his majoring in mechanical engineering at Brigham Young University.

One of Mr. Asay's most notable contributions to the discipline of accident reconstruction is in the area of crash testing. He was instrumental in researching and developing a unique testing methodology. The new methodology involved the study of vehicles that had impacted a stationary object. In the crash test, rather than the vehicle impacting the object, a large moving barrier with the object attached comes into the vehicle. This unique method of testing replicates the damage and improves accuracy and repeatability- for example, instead of pulling a car into a tree, it brings a tree into the car- by means of a specially designed Massive Moving Barrier™. Besides impact testing of vehicles, the Massive Moving Barrier™ has been utilized as a tow vehicle in several on-road rollover case studies. These series of rollover tests were the first-ever to be to be conducted and published with instrumented vehicles on an actual highway.

Specific areas of expertise include vehicle collision reconstruction, commercial vehicle crash investigation and analysis, and vehicle system components and dynamics. He has provided expert witness testimony in criminal proceedings and civil litigation at deposition, mediation, and jury trial levels in many states.
