Forensic analysis of adaptive cruise control data – Forensic documentation of adaptive cruise control
Adaptive cruise control automatically adjusts the vehicle’s speed and the distance to the vehicle ahead, and in many systems it records the times at which the system is activated, as well as the set distance and speed values.
This data may be relevant in determining whether and how the system was operating prior to a rear-end collision, and how it responded to the vehicle in front.
Why LanCologne?
Since its foundation, LanCologne has specialised in professional IT forensics. Our staff have decades of experience in the field of information technology and assist companies, solicitors, private individuals and, on a regular basis, the courts in the technical investigation of complex digital matters.
The examination is, as a matter of principle, carried out exclusively on a forensic copy, a forensic image or a data source captured in a technically equivalent manner that preserves the integrity of the evidence. The original evidence remains unchanged and is stored in a manner that preserves its integrity.
Our services
We analyse the available log data from the adaptive cruise control system and document its activation, the set parameters and the system’s responses during the relevant study period.
Typical areas of application
This is how a adaptive cruise control analysis works
Once the data has been backed up, the system’s available activation and parameter data is extracted and compared with speed and braking data for the relevant period.
Why is the analysis of adaptive cruise control relevant in a forensic context?
Evidence as to whether and how the system reacted prior to a rear-end collision can be of crucial importance in determining the cause of the accident.
The set values for following distance and speed can also provide relevant insights into driving behaviour.
