Forensic analysis of ADAS data (advanced driver-assistance systems) – using assistance system logs for forensic purposes
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS for short, assist the driver with various driving tasks and, in some cases, record the times at which they are activated, as well as any warnings or interventions triggered.
This data can provide information on whether and how a driver assistance system was active in a particular situation, and how it responded.

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 available ADAS log data in order to forensically document the activation and response of driver assistance systems during the relevant period.
Typical areas of application
How ADAS data analysis works
Once the data has been backed up, any available activation and event logs from the driver assistance systems are extracted and chronologically organised according to the sequence of events during an incident. Where possible, these are cross-referenced with other vehicle data.
Why is ADAS data analysis relevant to forensic investigations?
Determining whether and how a driver assistance system reacted in a specific situation can be of crucial importance when it comes to the question of liability in relation to semi-automated driving functions.
The absence of an expected system response may also be of forensic relevance and may indicate technical limitations or a fault.
