Forensic analysis of construction machinery telematics – using construction machinery telematics systems for forensic purposes
Construction machinery such as excavators, wheel loaders and cranes are increasingly fitted with telematics systems to monitor their location, operating hours and condition, with the data from these systems often being stored centrally by the manufacturer or operator.
This data may be relevant for the forensic analysis of a construction machine’s operating hours, locations and technical condition.

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
Subject to the appropriate authorisation, we analyse available construction machinery telematics data and document operating times, locations and the condition of the machinery in a manner that is verifiable through forensic analysis.
Typical areas of application
How a construction machinery telematics analysis works
Subject to the appropriate authorisation, available telematics data from the construction machine is recorded, analysed and cross-referenced with other operational and usage data.
Why is the analysis of construction machinery telematics data relevant to forensic investigations?
Centrally stored telematics data can provide important information on the location of machinery, even if it is no longer physically accessible or has been stolen.
A documented usage history may also be of forensic relevance when resolving billing disputes relating to hired construction machinery.
