Vehicle Accident Recontruction
With the ability to capture millions of data points in a matter of minutes, our investigators are able to document a scene, and crash related evidence in a way that is impossible to achieve with traditional methods.
The photographic documentation of evidence is commonly used by forensic investigators to reconstruct the events leading up to a crash, determine the cause and manner of the incident, and to provide an accurate and comprehensive visual record of the available evidence.
Drones are capable of capturing high-quality aerial footage and images from a collision scene with the ability to reveal crucial details that might be overlooked from ground level.
CGE provides advanced expert accident reconstruction services with the tools necessary to investigate and reconstruct accidents involving today’s modern and highly sophisticated vehicles.
The majority of all passenger vehicles on the road today are equipped with an Airbag Control Module (ACM) or equivalent digital hardware that is capable of capturing elements of crash related data in the event of a collision incident.
Today’s heavy trucks are controlled and monitored by multiple types of digital hardware systems having the ability to capture and store data related to a crash event.
By accurately modeling the impact configuration and vehicle alignments at the time of the collision, CGE can determine the collision forces and the relative speeds of each vehicle involved.
Using the crush damage analysis to understand the associated vehicle dynamics of a collision can also provide valuable insights into the conditions that were causal or contributed to the crash incident.
By integrating aerial LiDAR-derived DEMs with high-resolution laser scans, investigators can create a comprehensive and accurate 3D representation of the accident environment, encompassing both the macro and micro scale.
Aerial photography plays a significant role in accident reconstruction by providing a bird’s-eye view of the accident site, capturing crucial details that may not be readily visible from ground level.
Photogrammetry, the science of obtaining precise measurements from photographs, is a valuable tool in the field of accident reconstruction.
Videogrammetry, the process of extracting precise measurements from video footage, has become an increasingly important tool in accident reconstruction due to the growing prevalence of surveillance systems, dash cameras, and body-worn cameras.

Product Safety
The design and safety of recreational and sports products, particularly helmets, are of paramount importance in preventing injuries and ensuring the well-being of participants.
Above ground pool ladder design plays a critical role in ensuring safety and preventing unauthorized access by young children into the pool area, as well as reducing the risk of tip-over related injuries.
The safety of furniture products is an essential consideration for manufacturers, retailers, and consumers. One of the primary safety concerns is the stability of furniture, particularly for items such as bookcases, dressers, and cabinets.
Window coverings can pose significant danger, especially to children and pets, if they have cords that can form loops or strangulation hazards.
Forklifts, as essential pieces of equipment in many industries, are designed with a emphasis on safety and efficiency to minimize the risk of accidents and injuries. One prevalent concern is operator crushing injuries, which can occur when a forklift tips over or collides with another object.
Front loaders, widely used in construction, agriculture, and landscaping, are designed with functionality and safety as top priorities. Despite their robust design, one common concern is limited visibility, as the large bucket and load arms can obstruct the operator’s view, increasing the risk of accidents involving workers or equipment.
Skid steer loaders are a valuable tool for many industries, but they require proper training, maintenance, and proper design precautions to prevent the associated risks.
Scissor lifts, versatile aerial work platforms used across various industries, are designed with a strong focus on safety and operational efficiency. One primary concern in scissor lift operations is the risk of falls from height, which can result in severe injuries or fatalities.
Bucket trucks, essential aerial work platforms in industries such as utilities, telecommunications, and tree care, are engineered with a strong emphasis on safety and operational effectiveness.
Boom lifts, widely used aerial work platforms across various industries, are designed with a strong focus on safety and operational efficiency.
Emergency stop buttons are critical safety features in machine design, intended to provide a quick and reliable means of halting the operation of a machine in the event of an emergency.
Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) is a safety procedure used in industrial settings to ensure that dangerous machines are properly shut off and not started up again until maintenance or repair work is complete.

Visualizations
Computer generated environments have become increasingly advanced and realistic in recent years, making it possible to visualize a car crash with great accuracy.
The use of animations created from virtual models of vehicles or machines overlaid on top of a photograph used as a backplate has become an increasingly valuable technique in forensic engineering.
Matching the motion in a video can be used to reconstruct an incident such as a shooting, a motor vehicle accident, or a pedestrian accident by analyzing the movement of objects and people in the video.
Interactive animation is a powerful tool for visualizing and depicting different viewpoints and variables within an accident reconstruction. By using virtual reality, these animations can provide an immersive experience that allows viewers to explore the scene from multiple perspectives and gain a deeper understanding of the event.
