· Utilize 3D laser scanners, arial drones, and forensic mapping equipment to measure and collect accident evidence;

· Photograph scene evidence;

· Calculate principal directions of force, and changes in velocity during a crash event to support findings;

· Compare involved parties’ and witnesses’ accounts of accident with gathered physical and objective evidence;

· Prepare models/replica of accident scene, including measurements, vehicle position, damages, distances, and scene and roadway surface information;
