Integrating Technology Tools Help Solve Crime/Crash Scene Reconstruction Challenges, Clarify Probable Events

The drone data will document the physical evidence, whereas the laser scanner collects the geometry of the crash scene. As compelling as drone technology is by itself for lengthy crash scenes, Johnson stresses that the drone and laser scanner really work well together and should be considered for these types of scenes. All of the information captured by these devices can be evidentiary and helpful when combined with data gathered by reconstruction tools like laser scanners and drones. His agency owns three 3D laser scanners that are used on most crime and crash scenes as the primary documentation tool. Northpoint Collision Consultants uses two laser scanners that have proven valuable for reconstructing most of its larger crash scenes. In addition to today&s;s widely used 3D laser scanner, drones have become a favored, newer technology to a capture scene data sets.
