Simulation a, Simutlation B - Coggle Diagram
Simulation a
weaknesses
dependent on who the programmer is and dependent on the information available
How well an investigation was conducted
This version the graphic is distorted not clear what version
if there is tangible evidence often car accidents are based on hearsay evidence and not hard evidence.
quality of graphic representation dependant on age of software
clarity of the images created decreased proportionally with the size of the evidence being scanned
scanner also had a difficult time detecting very dark coloured objects but could detect them with added time
direct intrabeam viewing may be hazardous for the eyes when working within an area around the Class 3R laser system where the defined exposure limits are exceeded
Requires multiple add ons to be used to full potential cost prohibitive
strengths
Map location and speed of vehicles
Attention to detail
realistic flythroughs,
rain,
snow
fog,
animated vehicle headlights
brake lights
traffic lights
vehicle and human animations with shadows,
User friendly
intuitive user interface
instructional videos
Comprehensive documentation
online training with facilitator
Collate all accident data
Open diagrams from CAD Zone, ARAS, and other standard CAD formats
Bring in measurements from manual methods, drone photos, satellite maps, and data from total stations
open multiple point cloud formats, from laser scanners in .pts and .E57 formats, directly from FARO SCENE projects1, and from drones in .las file format
Sharing capabilities
comprehensive analysis
for bullet trajectory,
blood spatter,
vehicle momentum
critical speed yaw
speed from skids
road profile
Ensure Accuracy
Take all your measurements from the point cloud captured at the scene.
Snap to specific data points to create diagrams,
export chosen points with “virtual surveyor” mode,
use point clouds to create stunning animations and VR scenes
One Software Does It All
Register scanned data captured with FARO Focus Laser Scanners2 so all your work is done in one software application.
Photo-Realistic Results
Create incredible 3D environments with multiple light sources, grass that grows, car doors and hoods that open, and enhanced material textures for stone, brick, wood, metal, water, and more.
Accuracy
Simple to change weights and vehicle properties
The measuring tool in the FARO software was incredibly useful and could measure distances to one-tenth of a millimetre.
Use EDR data to reduce the time needed to create accurate crash animations

Simutlation B
Strengths
Import point clouds directly into your Virtual CRASH 4 simulation environment
Easy Surface Builder
import simulation terrain directly from measurements at the scene
convert your point cloud to a three-dimensional terrain surface mesh
Create building structures, trees, and other objects directly from the point cloud
"drape" a surface mesh across points in any orientation
Google earth integration
google earth aerials automatically Import to scale
builds terrain surface mesh based on terrain elevation data
Path Animation tool
create animated motion sequences without using the simulation engine to control vehicle motion.
specify key positions and orientations along the vehicle trajectory
Animated objects can even interact with non-animated objects
Smart Heads-Up Display
vehicle's speed and distance information anywhere within the playback window
visually display the speed during simulation playback
Adjustable sun position and lighting
vehicle dynamics and collision simulations
can use raw data from the accident to provide accurate reflection of what happened
Building environments
laser scan or UAV data to a terrain mesh
RTK GPS measurements can be incorporated into a diagram or simulation
aerial images
Build complex roadways

falls, and other mishaps
weaknesses
reliant on the programmer knowledge of the accident
reliant on the programmer inputting the correct data
quality of the photographs how well it can captures the environment
external infuluences may not be included
evidence based
The simulation is based on hear say and eye witness reports make the simulation fit the injury's
only as good as the eyewitness and injury accounts available
can be used to manipulate a situation to fit an adgenda
