Forensic analysis of toll system/transponder data – Using electronic toll collection data for forensic purposes
Electronic toll systems usually record the time and location at which a transponder or on-board unit fitted to a vehicle is detected when the vehicle is travelling on toll roads.
This data, stored by the operator, can – provided the necessary authorisation is in place – provide valuable location and time information for reconstructing a vehicle’s movements.

Our services
Where access is permitted, we analyse available toll system data and categorise recorded journeys by time and location for the purposes of the study.
Typical areas of application
How a toll system data analysis is carried out
Subject to the appropriate authorisation, available toll collection data is retrieved, analysed and cross-referenced with other location and movement data relating to the vehicle.
Why is the analysis of toll system data relevant in a forensic context?
Toll collection data provides precise data points, geolocated and time-stamped, which can usefully complement other sources of movement data.
Toll data history can be an important additional source of data, particularly for commercial vehicles used in long-distance transport.
