Motor Vehicle Data – The Importance and Use of the Data

In part three of our series on motor vehicle data, our expert concludes by emphasizing the significance of vehicle data in understanding motor vehicle accidents. From aiding repair facilities in diagnosing vehicle issues to assisting forensic engineers in reconstructing collisions, this data plays a crucial role in understanding vehicle dynamics, driver behavior, and liability assessment.

Motor Vehicle Data – Ownership and Accessibility

Part two of our series on motor vehicle data explores the ownership and accessibility of information stored within modern vehicles. Motor vehicle data can be categorized into vehicle-specific and person-specific data. While vehicle-specific data is generally collected during investigations, person-specific data, captured by infotainment systems, raises privacy concerns. Legal precedents in Canada highlight the acceptance of data in courts, emphasizing lawful acquisition and owner authorization.

Motor Vehicle Data – The Data

In Part One of our series on motor vehicle data, we uncover the wealth of information stored in today's vehicles, from diagnostic trouble codes to collision event recordings. Our expert explores the intricacies of this data by delving into its role in diagnosing vehicle issues, verifying events, and enhancing safety through technologies like Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and telematics.

Pool Failure Investigations

The Canadian pool season is short and pool owners want to savour every moment. Unfortunately, springtime often brings its fair share of pool damage. Poor or lack of maintenance, extreme temperatures, unsuitable geotechnical characteristics or an improper installation may be to blame.

March: Celebrating women and their scientific brilliance!

In Canada, March marks National Engineering Month! It’s a time to celebrate the remarkable contributions of the engineering community and spark the interest of future engineers and scientists! But March is also dedicated to honoring women, many of whom have made significant strides in science. So let's seize this opportunity to honor all those who have played a pivotal role in shaping our modern world.

The investigation process of structural failures

Structures can fail due to various factors: overloading, caused by climactic events, material deterioration, or issues during design, construction, or maintenance, is a common cause. In this video we explore the complexities of investigating structural failures, outline the steps involved and discuss subsequent actions. Our experts provide valuable insights into the role of forensic engineers in ensuring the safety and integrity of our built environment.
