Application Description

Investigating vehicle collisions requires thorough data collection. The CrashScan app, used with an OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth adapter, allows investigators to access and interpret data from a vehicle's Event Data Recorder (EDR), often called a "black box," where supported. This data helps validate insurance claims and provides crucial insights into liability.

Vehicle Support (EDR & Full System Diagnostic Scan)

CrashScan supports over 3000 vehicle year/make/model combinations internationally. Check compatibility here: https://collisionsciences.ca/reports/check_support/

Contextual Accident Reports

Successful CrashScan reports detail impact severity, orientation (front, rear, side), and provide contextual information including:

Accident severity (minor, moderate, severe)
EDR trigger thresholds
5 seconds of pre-crash data: speed, brake/accelerator pedal use, steering
Occupant count and seatbelt status
Estimated repair cost
Likelihood of structural crush damage
Injury risk thresholds (whiplash, injury duration)
G-force context compared to daily activities

*Injury risk algorithms utilize stored acceleration values, scientific articles, and databases like the National Automotive Sampling System (NASS).
