Forensic analysis of agricultural vehicles (GPS steering systems) – The forensic use of satellite-based steering systems in agriculture
Modern agricultural machinery, such as tractors and harvesters, often uses satellite-based steering systems for precise field cultivation and, in doing so, records detailed position and cultivation data.
This data may be relevant for the forensic reconstruction of routes, operating times and locations of agricultural vehicles.

The original evidence remains unchanged and is stored in a manner that preserves its integrity.
Our services
We analyse available position and operation data from satellite-based guidance systems and document usage times and routes in a manner that is forensically verifiable.
Typical areas of application
How an analysis of agricultural GPS steering systems is carried out
Once the steering system has been backed up, the available position and machining data are extracted, organised chronologically and cross-checked against other operational data.
Why is the analysis of agricultural GPS steering systems relevant in a forensic context?
Accurate usage data can provide important insights into the scope and timing of usage, for example in the event of billing disputes.
Even in cases of theft of expensive agricultural machinery, the documented location history may be of forensic relevance.
