Forensic analysis of fleet tracking data for commercial vehicles – using location tracking of large commercial vehicle fleets for forensic purposes

Freight forwarding and logistics companies often use standalone fleet tracking systems that continuously record the location, route and operational status of individual commercial vehicles and store this data centrally.

This data may be relevant both for investigating individual incidents and for wider operational investigations.

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 tracking data and prepare location and route history in a manner that is forensically verifiable for the purposes of the investigation.

Typical areas of application

•Reconstruction of the routes and locations of individual commercial vehicles
•Investigation of incidents in commercial goods transport
•Resolution of disputes regarding delivery times and routes
•Supplementing tachograph and toll data analyses

This is how a fleet tracking analysis works

Subject to the appropriate authorisation, available fleet tracking data is recorded, analysed and cross-referenced with other data sources, such as tachograph or toll data.

Why is fleet tracking analysis relevant from a forensic perspective?

Centrally recorded location data provides a reliable, independent basis for reconstructing routes and whereabouts.

Cross-referencing with tachograph and toll data significantly enhances the accuracy of the reconstructed journey history.
