Comprehensive Crash Analysis Services

We take the time to truly understand each crash by combining real-world riding experience with careful analysis to uncover what matters most.

1. Impact Alignment Analysis

  • Crash Dynamics Evaluation: Assessing the angles and points of impact to determine the sequence of events during a crash.
  • Vehicle Deformation Assessment: Analyzing crash patterns to understand energy absorption and distribution.
  • Trajectory Reconstruction: Mapping pre- and post-impact paths to establish vehicle movements.
  • 2. Mechanical Evaluations

  • Controlled Crash Testing: Conducting physical crash tests to simulate real-world crash scenarios.
  • Component-Level Testing: Evaluating individual vehicle components under impact conditions.
  • Post-Test Analysis: Detailed examination of test results to extract actionable data.
  • 3. Rider Performance & Decision Analysis

  • Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Utilizing computer simulations to model crash scenarios and predict outcomes.
  • Virtual Crash Testing: Simulating crashes to assess vehicle safety without physical testing.
  • Data Correlation: Comparing simulation results with real-world data to validate models.
  • 4. Regulatory Compliance Support

  • Standards Assessment: Ensuring vehicle designs meet safety regulations and standards.
  • Documentation Preparation: Assisting in compiling necessary reports and documentation for compliance purposes.
  • Consultation Services: Providing expert advice on meeting and exceeding safety requirements.
  • Engineering the Truth Behind Every Impact

    Behind every crash is a story and we uncover it with engineering precision. Our team uses proven scientific methods, industry-standard protocols, and cutting-edge technology to analyze crashes from every angle.
