Professional Services
Expert Witness Services
While most crash related events are settled amicably, some are not, and when you have to go to court an expert automotive engineer is frequently required. We can assist with the provision of experts, automotive engineers with a deep background at the world’s largest automotive OEM’s in vehicle design, structural engineering, safety system development and vehicle certification. If you have a case that requires the services of an engineer with expertise in occupant restraints, airbags systems and vehicle system design, we can offer the services of experienced engineers who are considered subject matter experts in these fields. We would be happy to provide you with more detailed information and a CV on request.
Bodily Injury Estimate Simulations
Injury to occupants of a fleet vehicle in a crash can have significant consequences for any fleet operator. Bodily injury claims, especially claims related to soft tissue injuries are challenging and in many cases involve exaggeration and occasionally outright fraud. (More than one of every three bodily-injury claims from car crashes involves fraud. Insurance Research Council (1996)).
Using information from the Crash Data File, with detailed information on the vehicle structure itself, and sophisticated computer modeling techniques (same tools used to develop and certify new vehicles before entering the market) Crashboxx.com can create a Bodily Injury Simulation that will allow a visual re-construction of the crash event, insight into the occupant kinematics and injury mechanisms and an analysis of the probability of occupant injury by major body region, using the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS).
In cases where exaggeration or fraud are suspected, Bodily Injury Estimate Simulations using data extracted from the Cash Data File and other detailed vehicle information, can be a valuable tool for fleet operators and insurers.

Crashboxx CAPTURE (coming shortly)
As a fleet operator, whether you are self insured or purchase coverage from underwriters, an ounce of prevention is often worth a pound of cure. Crashboxx.com’s CAPTURE (which stands for Crash Avoidance and Prevention Through User Risk Evaluation) harnesses the ability of the system to capture and record normal driver operation of the vehicle, not just exceptional events. CAPTURE is a program which “captures” snap shots of the driver’s operating performance, and then compares the results against standard profiles.
A better understanding of a driver’s operating technique allows fleet and safety managers to better understand driver behavior behind the wheel under regular operation. Hard acceleration, hard cornering , frequency of heavy brake application are all factors which can be measured using CAPTURE. Drivers who routinely operate company vehicles in an aggressive or less than optimum manner can be coached or given further training, or reassigned if needed.
