Accident Reconstruction

Accident reconstruction uses telematics data (GPS, speed, G-forces) to create a factual, detailed report of an incident. It's an essential tool for establishing liability, accelerating insurance claims, and protecting your drivers.

How does telematics enable precise accident reconstruction?

A telematics-based accident reconstruction provides objective, factual evidence, eliminating doubt and interpretation. It relies on a cross-analysis of several critical data points, captured second-by-second:

The data used

  1. Speed and GPS Position: Records the vehicle's exact speed before, during, and after the impact, as well as its precise location. Allows for validating or contradicting witness statements about speed.
  2. G-Forces (Accelerometer): The G-force sensor measures the severity and direction of the impact (frontal, side, rear). This is a key data point for determining the severity of the crash and identifying the point of origin of the collision.
  3. Pre-Incident Driving Behavior: The system records the driver's actions in the seconds leading up to the accident. Was there emergency braking, a sudden swerve, or an abrupt acceleration? 4. Video Evidence (Dashcam): This is the most powerful element. A connected dashcam provides irrefutable visual proof of the accident's context, the environment, and the actions of other road users.
  4. Post-Incident Data: The system can indicate if the engine was immediately turned off, if a door was opened, or if the vehicle was moved after the initial impact, all crucial information for investigations.
