Forensic analysis of parking aid sensor data – the forensic use of ultrasonic parking aid sensors
Parking assistance systems use ultrasonic sensors to measure distances to obstacles and alert the driver either audibly or visually; some systems also temporarily store warning events on a per-incident basis.
In individual cases, this data may be relevant in determining whether an obstacle warning was issued prior to parking damage or a low-impact collision.
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 check the fitted parking assistance system for any event logs and analyse the available warning events in a manner that is forensically verifiable.
Typical areas of application
This is how a parking aid analysis is carried out
Once the system has been technically categorised, a check is carried out to determine whether, and to what extent, warning events are stored. Existing data is backed up and chronologically organised.
Why is the analysis of the parking aid system relevant to forensic investigations?
A documented warning may be relevant in determining whether the driver was alerted to an obstacle in good time.
As many systems do not provide for the permanent storage of events, the scope of data available for each vehicle is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
