Abstract:

Traffic crashes have an effect on the lives of those involved, the lives of those who respond to the incident and the lives of those who investigate the incident. The collection of evidence at a crash scene is very important but the exposure of responders to the dangers of traffic increases the chance of a secondary collision occurring. When technology is effectively applied to traffic incident management and crash investigation, safety is increased and traffic congestion is minimized. The use of traffic crash reconstruction technology has a significant impact on the safety of the investigators, the traveling public and the operation of the transportation system. This report examines available crash investigation and reconstruction technology. The evolution of traffic crash reconstruction technology has introduced many new types of equipment to this field, as well as constantly evolving innovations. The report provides information about each technology’s capabilities and limitations to inform crash investigation units of the options available.
