Forensic reconstruction of speed data – Forensic documentation of dangerous speeds
Various vehicle control units record speed data, sometimes continuously at short intervals, and sometimes only on an event-by-event basis as part of a pre-crash recording prior to a collision.
This data is a key component of almost every accident reconstruction and is frequently cross-referenced with other data sources, such as braking data or ADAS logs.
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 record and analyse the available speed data from the relevant control units and place it within the chronological sequence of the event under investigation.
Typical areas of application
This is how a speed data analysis is carried out
Once the relevant control units have been backed up, the available speed values are extracted and cross-referenced with other vehicle data, such as braking data and ADAS logs.
Why is the analysis of speed data relevant in a forensic context?
The exact speed immediately prior to an incident is often crucial for the technical reconstruction of the accident and the assessment of whether it could have been avoided.
Cross-checking several independent data sources increases the reliability of the reconstructed speed values.
