3D Reconstruction to Support Police in Traffic Accident Analysis


Author PhD Pavel Kucera


On Thursday, August 29, 2024, we had the unique opportunity to collaborate with the Czech Republic National Police at a test track, where we simulated a traffic accident involving two vehicles at an intersection, envisioning how such an event might be managed in the near future.


This simulation wasn’t just another routine test; it marked a significant leap forward in the innovation of traffic accident reconstruction. During the experiment, the Police ČR conducted the same procedures typically carried out at real-life accident scenes, providing a realistic foundation for our technology to demonstrate its full potential.


At AutoCrash, we focused on producing advanced visual documentation using cutting-edge technologies, including 360-degree photographic coverage of the accident scene. This immersive visualization goes beyond a simple static image—it allows us to reconstruct the accident in a fully interactive 3D model, enhanced by AI technology.


What makes this method truly revolutionary is its wide range of potential applications, including: 

  • Measuring brake marks and analyzing vehicle trajectories. 

  • Assessing the relative positions of vehicles before and after impact. 

  • Verifying the accident’s plausibility by comparing vehicle deformation with standard collision patterns. 

  • Marking damaged areas, estimating the extent of the damage, and simulating the accident sequence. 

  • Enhancing understanding of the incident by offering a comprehensive view of the road and the vehicles involved.


Our approach not only provides a detailed description of the accident but also generates comprehensive documentation grounded in both visual and data-driven analysis. The next phase of this project involves presenting our findings to the Police ČR, where we will demonstrate the accuracy and depth of the insights gained through these advanced technologies.


This experiment represents a major advancement in the analysis and reconstruction of traffic accidents, and we look forward to sharing more detailed results soon. Stay tuned for updates on how this innovation is reshaping the future of accident analysis!
