Forensic analysis of driving profiles and driving behaviour – Forensic documentation of driving style and driving behaviour

Some modern vehicles and telematics systems record driving-style-related parameters such as acceleration, braking and cornering behaviour, which can be combined to form an individual driving profile.

This data may be useful for identifying typical driving patterns or for determining whether a particular driving behaviour deviates from the usual pattern.

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 available driving-style data and document identifiable driving patterns and anomalies in a manner that is forensically verifiable for the relevant study period.

Typical areas of application

•Evidence of conspicuous or atypical driving behaviour
•Incorporating driving behaviour data into accident reconstructions
•Resolving disputes over usage when there are several drivers
•Support with insurance telematics analyses
•Judicial and non-judicial expert reports
•Collaboration with fleet operators

How a driving profile analysis works

Once the data has been backed up, any available driving style-related data is extracted and checked for anomalies and deviations from typical patterns during the relevant period.

Why is driving profile analysis relevant in a forensic context?

Unusual driving behaviour shortly before an incident can provide important clues for reconstructing the accident.

Where there are several authorised drivers for a vehicle, an individual driving profile can help to clarify who was driving at a particular time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a person be uniquely identified on the basis of their driving profile?+
Not usually as such, but characteristic patterns can be used as one piece of evidence amongst others.
Are driving profiles created for every vehicle?+
No, this depends on the vehicle’s specifications, the manufacturer and, where applicable, the telematics services used.
Does the analysis of driving profiles raise any data protection concerns?+
This depends on the relevant guidelines and the applicable legal basis, and is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
