A Personal Computer Program for Drawing Accident Sites

A personal computer program for drawing accident sites is described. The program design is reviewed and hardware requirements are defined. Standard features are explained and features unique to the needs of the accident reconstructionist, such as photogrammetry and a built-in accident site template, are presented. Its use with other computer accident reconstruction programs is illustrated. It is seen that the scaled accident site diagram provides an important element to the reconstruction, both as an analytical tool as well as a presentation tool.
