A note from the founder
Looking back and forward
As Collision Sciences begins its 12th year, I have been reflecting on why we started the company and how far our team and customers have taken it. Our goal was straightforward: make reliable crash-data evidence easier to preserve, understand and use, while maintaining the engineering discipline that forensic work demands. What makes me proudest is not simply the technology, but the people behind it - our engineers, developers, technical partners and customers - and the many investigations around the world in which better access to objective vehicle data has helped people reach clearer answers. - Jason Bayley, P.Eng., MBA Founder & CEO, Collision Sciences

Year in review
Building a stronger technical foundation
A new EDR technical compendium
Explore the technical resources
Expanded validation & scientific work
Our technical library now includes comparative work involving CrashScan, Bosch CDR, Mercedes-Benz Xentry, DEWESoft reference systems, controlled crash testing, bench CAN/K-Line extraction, real-world EDR speed measurements and BMW Drive Recorder metadata.
Validation in practice
Controlled testing and comparative analysis continue to strengthen the technical foundation behind CrashScan and the interpretation of EDR evidence. Review validation resources

Advanced module processing
Direct-to-module and specialist pathways continue to expand for vehicles where normal diagnostic-link retrieval is unavailable, including D2M/Lab Kit workflows, FlexRay and EEPROM/chip-level recovery. Contact support about module processing

Case study spotlight
From crash data to defensible answers
Short, anonymized case articles turn real customer questions and field challenges into practical lessons on EDR interpretation, retrieval limitations, reconstruction context and evidence handling. 01 The EDR Event Was Real — But It Was the Wrong Collision 02 “Backed Into a Tree” — What Does the EDR Actually Say? 03 “I Was Going 5 mph” — What Does the Pre-Crash Table Show? 04 Four Impacts, Five Ignition Cycles — One Collision Sequence? 05 What Steering, Accelerator and Brake Data Say Before Impact

Year ahead
Research moving toward publication
A major focus for Year 12 is the scientific work progressing toward publication. Our research program includes comparative and validation studies involving CrashScan and established OEM/reference systems, controlled testing, bench-top extraction, real-world EDR speed validation and independent metadata comparisons. As individual papers complete peer review and publication, we will share the published references with the reconstruction, insurance, legal and research communities.
