Traffic Accident Investigation:

Traffic accident investigation is the process of collecting information that can later be analysed and used on various platforms. The three main sources of information include but are not limited to:

  • Information from people
  • Information from roads
  • Information from vehicles

 

Traffic Accident Reconstruction:

Traffic accident reconstruction is the effort to determine, from whatever information is available, how an accident occurred.  It includes, amongst others, subjects relating to speed calculation, determining the area of impact, direction of travel, positions on the roadway (at either a fixed point and/or at varying intervals), vehicle acceleration and deceleration, occupant position, visibility distance, reaction time, reaction distance, and many more.
