BACKGROUND:
The Trimble X9 forensic scanner is used for crash investigations by quickly capturing a highly detailed, high-resolution 3D digital replica of the crash scene. Within minutes, the Trimble X9 can completely document a complex scene into a digital environment that is then used for analysis, measurements, and the creation of 3D diagrams for reconstruction, animations, and court presentation. This technology reduces the time investigators spend at the scene, which minimizes road closures and trauma exposure while increasing data accuracy and providing a lasting digital record.
