Forensic analysis of fleet management telematics – Using operational fleet management systems for forensic purposes

Fleet management systems centrally collect location, journey and condition data for a company’s vehicles and usually store this data on the operator’s platforms.

This data may be relevant both for investigating individual incidents and for analysing usage patterns across an entire vehicle fleet.

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

Subject to the necessary authorisation, we analyse available fleet management telematics data and process it in a manner that is forensically verifiable, either for individual vehicles or for the entire fleet.

Typical areas of application

•Investigation of individual incidents within a vehicle fleet
•Analysis of usage patterns across multiple vehicles
•Investigating misuse or misconduct involving company vehicles
•Support in employment law disputes
•Judicial and non-judicial expert reports
•Cooperation with companies in internal investigations

This is how a fleet management analysis is carried out

Subject to the appropriate authorisation, available telematics data from the vehicles concerned is recorded, analysed and, where relevant, cross-referenced with other on-board data sources.

Why is fleet management analysis relevant in a forensic context?

Centrally stored fleet data enables efficient analysis without the need to physically secure every single vehicle.

Patterns that recur across several vehicles can also provide important indications of systematic misconduct.
