Visualisation uses Virtual Reality 3-D computer graphics to recreate an accident. Forensic evidence from before, during and after an accident, together with data obtained from a vehicle's 'Black Box' where applicable, is used to generate an animated representation of an incident.

Simulation offers the accident investigator an opportunity to 'fill the gaps' of unknown motion and timing data, between the start and end of an accident. Mathematical data, derived from forensic evidence from vehicles and the crash site, is used to build a computer model of the accident with the aim predicting of the motion, speeds and forces involved, which may not be available by forensic or other means. The results may be used to produce an accident visualisation.

Features of our service include:

• Site and vehicle inspections by qualified accident investigators
• Virtual Reality capabilities to support visual analysis of the 'who saw what and when' aspects of an accident
• Analytical methods to provide the mathematical reconstruction of the dynamics of an accident
• Provision of Expert Witnesses
• On-going research and development in the technology of accident analysis to maintain leading-edge position
