Crash investigation

Making it faster and easier than ever before to capture and clear a crash scene, keeping public roads moving and police safe.

When a crash occurs the speed with which we capture the detail of the scene and then clear the area is essential. For example, road closures cost money, delay the public and provide an unsafe environment for responders on the ground and those held up by the incident.

Blocked roads cost the government money and hold up traffic as well as putting the public and responders in danger, through risk of secondary crashes and near misses. Capturing the scene efficiently and easily so that roads can be re-opened quickly after an accident is essential. 

Our high density laser scans of crush zones are easily captured in minutes, giving complete, accurate data that allows investigator to superimpose crush data against the scans of an undamaged vehicle. It is even possible for specific points to be digitally accessed for comparison and analysis against the two scans. In addition surface geometry is preserved and permanently archived for future verification of crush parameters, should it be needed.

“Using this technology it is possible to capture the whole environment of the incident as it was, in a matter of minutes. In the time it takes to scan the scene the investigator can be carrying out other inspections or tasks, such as taking tire pressures, updating scene notes and imaging aspects of the scene or vehicles.”
