事故重建

The engineers, reconstruction specialists, and scientists of the Rimkus team offer a wealth of knowledge and experience in all aspects of accident reconstruction analysis to accurately assess crucial evidence and reconstruct complex accidents. Rimkus experts can evaluate the additional complexities of commercial vehicle accidents.

快速响应

对事故现场的即时响应对于车辆事故重建至关重要。我们记录现场条件，包括打滑痕迹、撞击、最终静止位置、视线、路况、交通管制和其他相关数据。在出售或销毁车辆之前对其进行检查非常重要。除了记录车辆的物理状况外，我们还可以下载可能在事故或险些发生事故时记录的电子数据。

重建方法和评估

我们的员工利用基于科学的方法分析证据并确定人（司机、行人和证人）、车辆和道路/环境之间的互动。根据现有证据，我们可以确定车辆方向和速度、驾驶员行为、交通信号灯时间、车辆或行人的能见度等。

车祸重建经验：

• 单车和多车事故
• 商用车碰撞
• 高速致命碰撞
• 行人与车辆事故
• 摩托车事故

Rimkus incorporates state-of-the-art technology in data collection and accident reconstruction analysis to further enhance the reliability of field investigations and ensure the accuracy of our findings.

FARO FOCUS 3D™ laser scanners provide Rimkus with a reliable method for obtaining 3D color point clouds and 3D measurements to document accident scenes, vehicles, roadways, and evidence. The scanner produces dense point clouds used in the analysis to determine the cause of complex accidents.

ELECTRONIC DATA can be obtained from vehicles, cell phones, and surveillance systems. Event Data Recorders (EDR) in passenger and commercial vehicles afford Rimkus the opportunity to download vital data from vehicles including speeds, brake use, accelerator use, steering input, seatbelt use, and other data. The infotainment system in many vehicles records user and vehicle data.

这些数据可包括 GPS 路线/位置、车辆事件、连接设备、通话和短信记录等。 移动设备（手机和平板电脑）记录的数据包括位置（GPS）、移动、通话和短信记录等。 随着监控摄像头的普及，越来越多的事故被拍摄下来。 对电子数据的分析有助于回答大量事故还原和车辆失窃问题。

DRONES allow Rimkus to take aerial photographs of accident sites. Drone photographs are used to create 3D point clouds and scaled aerial images of accident scenes used in the analysis to determine the cause of complex accidents.

TOTAL STATIONS allow Rimkus to digitally map accident sites when a 3D scanner or drone cannot be used. The total station data is downloaded into a computer to render the accident scene with pinpoint accuracy.

CRUSH ANALYSIS and CRASH SIMULATION programs allow Rimkus to analyze information such as vehicle crush damage, steering, braking, skid marks, roll resistance, vehicle speeds, and roadway conditions. Based on analyses, Rimkus can determine the pre-impact, impact, and post-impact speeds of the vehicles involved in the accident. An accident can be simulated in 3D, including rollovers.

VEHICLE MAPPING is a reconstruction tool for determining the crush profile of a vehicle. Our reconstruction experts use multiple methods to map vehicle damage including 3D scanners, photogrammetry, iPhone Lidar, and total stations. With a proper crush profile, Rimkus can better analyze the vehicle crush depth and calculate the change in speed and impact configuration of the vehicles at the time of impact.

我们的生物力学工程师可以帮助确定索赔伤害的原因，或确定事故或事件与索赔伤害之间是否存在不一致之处。

我们的专家还调查安全带、安全气囊、预紧器和儿童安全座椅等车辆乘员保护系统的功能，以了解它们在事故或事件中减轻伤害的作用。我们可以帮助确定这些系统是否得到适当使用，以及缺乏适当使用是否会导致车内人员受伤。

Rimkus biomechanical experts and biomedical engineers offer expertise in physics, accident reconstruction dynamics, biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, and human kinematics.

利用先进的生物力学研究，我们的团队可以确定造成身体伤害的原因，以及所报告的伤害是否与事件中的受力情况相符。在涉及驾驶人争议的案件中，我们的专家可以确定车辆驾驶人、乘员位置、乘员安全带使用情况以及与正确使用安全带相关的预期伤害类型/程度。

我们的评估范围从低速碰撞到高速碰撞，以帮助客户了解所报告伤害的事实，并解释造成伤害的机制。

在一个完美的世界里，设备和车辆的设计、制造、维护都是正确的，不会因磨损而改变。然而，现实世界并非如此。

Offering a keen understanding of forensic sciences and failure analysis, Rimkus has organized a specialized group of qualified engineers, ASE mechanics, and materials experts to conduct product evaluations, testing, and analysis of vehicle failures.

我们的员工仔细分析设计与使用之间的微妙关系，并参与车辆和子系统的实验室分析，以确定故障是否造成或促成了财产损失或人身伤害。

Our environmental staff is Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) certified, as required by OSHA regulations, and qualified to enter catastrophe sites or spill areas containing hazardous and toxic materials. Rimkus can assess the environmental impact of pollution events and verify compliance with state and federal laws.

道路设计

The design of the roadway environment is concerned with the positioning of the physical elements of the roadway according to standards and constraints. The experts at Rimkus apply governing standards to analyze sight distances, roadway geometry, roadway pavements, and roadside hazards and can determine if the physical elements of the roadway and roadside environment were implemented appropriately and if they caused or contributed to a vehicle accident.

工作区交通管制

The function of work zone traffic control is to provide for the reasonably safe and effective movement of road users through a work zone while reasonably protecting road users and workers. The experts at Rimkus can evaluate the construction activity, determine what work zone traffic control was required for the subject activity, and assess if the appropriate traffic control was implemented.

交通信号运行

Traffic signals assign the right-of-way to the various traffic movements and thereby influence traffic flow on the roadway network. The experts at Rimkus specialize in the design, programming, and analysis of traffic signal timing, intersection layout, signal phasing, and signal maintenance along with witness accounts and accident reconstruction to determine the signal patterns preceding an accident.

交通控制设备

Traffic control devices notify road users of regulations and provide warnings and guidance needed for the uniform and efficient operation of the traffic stream in a manner intended to minimize the occurrences of crashes. The experts at Rimkus can evaluate if the design and placement of a traffic control device was appropriate or if a certain condition required the installation of a traffic control device that was not installed.
