Forensic analysis of braking data – Forensic documentation of braking behaviour and braking system logs
The braking system in modern vehicles often records brake pedal operation, brake pressure and, in some cases, the activation of electronic assistance systems such as ABS or ESP during the relevant period leading up to an incident.
This data is a key component in reconstructing the vehicle’s behaviour immediately prior to a collision and is regularly combined with speed and pre-crash data.
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 collect and analyse available braking data from the relevant control units and document brake pedal operation, brake pressure and interventions by driver assistance systems in a manner that is forensically verifiable.
Typical areas of application
How a braking data analysis is carried out
Once the relevant control units have been backed up, the available braking data is extracted and cross-referenced with speed, pre-crash and ADAS data for the relevant time period.
Why is the analysis of braking data relevant in a forensic context?
The timing and intensity of braking provide key clues for reconstructing the final seconds before a collision.
A technical fault in the braking system may also be relevant from a forensic perspective, particularly when clarifying issues of product liability.
