CrashScan | Accident Detector

Investigating vehicle collisions requires thorough data analysis. The EDR "Blackbox" Scan Tool and PDF Accident Reports, powered by the CrashScan app and OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth adapter, offer a streamlined solution. This tool scans vehicle computer modules, including the Event Data Recorder (EDR), where supported (see support below), to extract crucial accident data. This data helps validate insurance claims and provides valuable insights into liability.

Vehicle Support (EDR & Full System Diagnostic Scan)

CrashScan supports over 3000 unique vehicle year/make/models internationally. Check supported vehicles here: https://collisionsciences.ca/reports/check_support/

Contextual Accident Reports

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

• Accident severity (minor, moderate, or 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).

United States: The federal Driver Privacy Act of 2015 and seventeen state statutes (Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington) regulate EDR data access, often requiring owner/policyholder consent with exceptions.
