Retrieve, preserve, and interpret critical onboard vehicle data.
Our engineers have the tools and expertise to retrieve, preserve, and interpret the data, videos, and images stored in vehicles and equipment involved in collisions. This data often contains information that can be critical to accident investigations. Utilizing the latest software and hardware tools to access and recover onboard electronic data and onboard video recordings, our engineers gain valuable insight into the circumstances of the accident.

Incident scene documentation and modeling.
Exponent vehicle engineers utilize a broad range of methodologies to document and preserve incident scene data. Utilizing traditional photographic and measurement methods and state-of-the-art technologies, including 3D scanners and drones (UAVs), Exponent's engineers capture detailed 3D information from scenes that is used to inform our reconstruction analyses and to prepare powerful demonstrations, including 3D digital or physical models.

Rapid response.
The best evidence is the freshest evidence. For this reason, Exponent's qualified engineers are available to rapidly respond with the necessary equipment to incidents wherever they occur. Our accident reconstructionists can be deployed from offices located across the U.S. and can be on-site and collecting critical data, often within a 24-hour window.
Capabilities and Services
Exponent collects, synthesizes, and interprets vehicle and environment data to inform our unparalleled reconstruction analyses and to evaluate the effects of automotive design and performance on incident circumstances.
