Services
Accident Reconstruction
Factorial's accident reconstruction service analyzes vehicle dynamics, speeds, and environmental interactions to determine collision causes. Using physical evidence and CDR data, we create detailed reports for legal and insurance purposes. Our engineers apply industry-standard methodologies to ensure accurate, defensible conclusions.
CDR Data Retrieval
Our certified CDR system operators extract critical pre-crash data from passenger vehicles, including speed, braking, and impact forces. This 'Black Box' data enhances reconstruction accuracy for litigation and safety evaluations. We follow strict protocols to maintain data integrity and chain-of-custody requirements.
Failure Analysis
Factorial investigates mechanical failures in suspension, drivetrain, and industrial components to identify root causes. We distinguish between overload and fatigue failures using metallurgical testing and stress analysis. Our findings help determine liability and improve equipment safety standards across industries.
Vehicle Inspections
We conduct comprehensive vehicle inspections for passenger and commercial trucks, including DOT-style assessments of mechanical integrity. Our engineers evaluate compliance with safety regulations and identify maintenance issues contributing to accidents. Reports include actionable recommendations for preventing future incidents.
Visibility Studies
Factorial performs visibility studies to assess environmental factors affecting accidents in day and nighttime conditions. We analyze lighting, signage, and obstructed views to determine contributory factors. Our findings help establish liability and improve roadway safety measures for municipalities and private entities.
Questions
What services does Factorial offer?
Factorial provides forensic engineering services including accident investigation, reconstruction, vehicle inspections, CDR data retrieval, and mechanical failure analysis for passenger and commercial vehicles.
What is CDR data retrieval?
CDR (Crash Data Retrieval) extracts pre-crash and crash impulse data from passenger vehicles, commonly known as 'Black Box' information, to aid accident reconstruction analysis.
Do you handle commercial truck accidents?
Yes, we perform DOT-style inspections, analyze commercial truck data recordings, and assess road-worthiness criteria for serious accidents involving commercial vehicles.
What types of failure analysis do you perform?
Our engineers specialize in determining overload versus fatigue failure modes in suspension, drivetrain, and machinery components for litigation and safety assessments.
Are your engineers certified?
Yes, our team includes certified CDR system operators and engineers with extensive experience in forensic analysis and court-admissible reporting.
How do you document accident scenes?
We use emergency response protocols for on-scene documentation, including visibility studies, vehicle dynamics analysis, and advanced reconstruction techniques to establish accurate timelines.
