Engineering Dynamics Corporation (EDC) announced the development of a new software application, called HVE-CSI (Human-Vehicle-Environment - Crash Site Investigator) at the Institute for Police Training and Management (IPTM) Special Problems in Traffic Crash Reconstruction conference. HVE-CSI is a unique version of EDC's HVE highway safety research software that focuses directly on the needs of law enforcement officers. Following inspections of the vehicles and crash site, officers can use HVE-CSI to reconstruct the crash. The results of the reconstruction help to identify factors, such as excessive speed, loss of control and failure to obey traffic control devices. The ultimate goal is to improve highway safety for the motoring public. HVE-CSI includes two well known reconstruction software tools, EDCRASH and EDSMAC. These tools have been extensively validated, and results have been presented and accepted in courts worldwide for over 20 years. HVE-CSI will be available after June 14, 2010.
