The majority of traffic accidents are caused by unsafe driving, which are not only expensive in terms of repairing cars and other equipment, paying insurance premiums, receiving penalties, causing property damage, but most importantly, endangering the well-being and safety of both drivers and pedestrians. Over 65% of accidents occur because of vehicle’s over speeding, drivers violating traffic signals, or atrocious vehicle maintenance. According to research, 81% of the mortality rate in hospitals is due to road traffic accidents, while traffic accident victims occupy 20% of their beds. Besides this, statistics also indicate 79.2% of patients admitted to hospitals with spinal injuries have sustained injuries due to a motor vehicle accident.

It is very important to know how it happened, why it happened and what the causes were. Rebuilding as much information as possible is vital to take the necessary action. With accident reconstruction data one can decide easily weather to fight a lawsuit or settle down quickly.

What is accident reconstruction?

It is the process which defines the event happened before, during and after the collision by using telematics data. Telematics data helps you in understanding the accident in a broader perspective. It provides you the scientific pattern of events with the access to the previous history of the specific vehicle or driver.
This tool can proved to be of significant importance for fleet managers and administrators in analyzing the causes of accidents, how it happened and who was guilty.

This report is divided into three categories i.e. journey report, violation report and driver scorecard. The journey report gives you the detailed information about that specific information. The track he choose, the time of accident, location of accident along with the distance travelled before accident and the utilization of asset. Here utilization of asset is of paramount importance as it can help in identifying the fatigue of driver. How long did he travelled without taking break before an accident? Eagle-I also provides you the last stop where he rested with his duration of stay.
The violation report shows the summary of all the violations happened in that specific journey. Whereas driver scorecard gives you the comprehensive information about driver’s behavior with accelerometer data (harsh braking, harsh acceleration, harsh corning), RPM data and speed profile during the accident.
The above mentioned all information will not only be beneficial in analyzing the situation of accident but it can also be used to prevent accidents in future by observing the pattern. Moreover, this information can also help you in claiming your insurance.
