Crash Reconstruction

Tools for Accurate Crash Reconstruction

Crash reconstruction is the ultimate detective work, essentially reverse-engineering the elements of a scene to determine the cause of a crash. That includes the physical science and forensics behind the incident. In high-traffic, high-volume locations under what can be punishing natural conditions, quickly collecting and cataloging the scene is critical to safety, preventing evidence loss and mitigating the economic losses of closed roadways. 

Today’s forensic technology is the key to reconstructing crashes with accuracy. In fact, laser scanning solutions from FARO are transforming the law enforcement and private crash reconstruction professions. The technology gathers the evidence quickly and efficiently by creating 3D point clouds of on-scene information that can be uploaded immediately and shared among various team members in the investigative process.
