OUR TECHNOLOGY
3D MODELING
We use AutoDesk Revit, a building information modeling software package, to recreate an accident scene that has been altered or destroyed to the conditions as close as possible to the way they were on the day of the incident. The program uses data collected from sources such as the original site plans and photos from the scene to create a 3 dimensional rendering that reconstructs the scene with a level of detail that would not otherwise be feasible.
AERIAL SITE MAPPING
We use a DJI Phantom 4 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to map sites for accident scene reconstruction. Once the drone has collected images from its flight, the data can be used to create maps and models from the scene with a high level of detail. The models give our experts a perspective of the accident scene that would not be achievable through a normal site inspection. We've found that this perspective which the drone images provide leads to the discovery of vital information.
ACCIDENT SCENE ANIMATION
Through the use of several different programs, our in-house animation team can recreate the circumstances of an accident as close as possible to the way it occurred at the time of the event. The animation gives a visual retelling of events that a rereading of testimony cannot duplicate. The video to the right is a recreation of events at an indoors sport facility where a person fell through a window.
