After a major vehicle crash, investigators and reconstruction specialists require effective and efficient tools to accurately map the events and aftermath of a crash. MicroSurvey Software, Inc. understands the importance of precision and accuracy in collecting crash data and mapping the scene. They have developed the first fully integrated software solution designed to meet the specific needs of reconstruction specialists.

The MapScenes Evidence Recorder is designed to view the crash diagram at the scene while the measurements are taken with a total station or laser measuring device. This decreases the chance of missing evidence that could easily disappear once the traffic starts driving over the scene. Designed and built for Windows CE hand held computers, the Evidence Recorder instructs the total station to take measurements; it records the measurements; adds the points to the scene drawing and then automatically centers the screen on the new point. The Evidence Recorder displays intelligent points and line-work that can simply be tapped on to verify point locations and descriptions or obtain direction and distance of a line.

The Evidence Recorder synchronizes with the MapScenes Desktop Solution seamlessly and automatically. The Desktop Solution contains a symbol library of over 3000 pre-drawn crash and crime scene symbols. Each symbol is pre-scaled to display at the correct size - saving time and guesswork. With a digital camera, photographic evidence can be linked directly to the scene drawing. Photo hotlinks can be inserted in the drawing at the point the picture was taken. The MapScenes Desktop Solution is a complete 3D mapping program with an extensive set of formulas for calculating speed and other factors relating to accidents and crimes.

The MapScenes Evidence Recorder and MapScenes Desktop Software is a fully integrated solution that makes the process of collecting evidence and forensic mapping faster, easier and more accurate than any other system.
