Accident investigation and reconstruction is the scientific process to determine what happened before during and after an incident occurred and identify factors that contributed to the incident and severity.
This process relies on the laws of physics, fundamental principles of crash mechanics, vehicle dynamics and kinematics, and a thorough analysis of the physical evidence.
DRE staff use multidisciplinary expertise and state-of the-art equipment and software to gather information and reconstruct the accident events based on established engineering and scientific principles.

DRE staff use multidisciplinary expertise and state-of the-art equipment and software to gather information and reconstruct the accident events based on established engineering and scientific principles.
Site inspections provide an overall and detailed view of accident locations for reconstruction analyses.
DRE engineers document an accident site topography with photographs and 3-dimensional (3D) measurements using a FARO Focus3D Laser Scanner and/or Leica Total Station.
This accident site data is used with computer software to create scaled scene drawings and conduct computer simulations of the accident sequence.
Scene 3D models allow the creation of evidence-based visuals to illustrate the findings of the reconstructed accident events.

Designing a new component or product, modifying an existing one, and/or evaluating the field performance of a product already in the marketplace involves a thoughtful analysis of the intended use, the operator and operating environments, and the applicable performance standards or requirements.
DRE's experienced engineers assist clients by assessing the effects of proposed design modifications, taking into consideration issues such as product safety, strength and durability, acceptance and usefulness.
