Abstract

The use of video surveillance systems (Closed-Circuit Television – CCTV) has become widespread across various modern applications. In the context of forensic documentation submitted for expert analysis, digital video recordings of traffic collisions are increasingly common. These recordings often capture not only the moment of impact but also crucial pre- and post-collision events. Such footage provides valuable data for understanding the dynamics of an incident and conducting detailed kinematic analyses. Accident reconstruction software, such as AnalyzerPro and PC Crash, includes specialized video analysis modules. When certain conditions are met, these modules can be used to extract quantitative information about the position and velocity of involved vehicles or individuals at specific moments in time. This paper provides an overview of the operational principles of these modules, the prerequisites for their effective use, and the precision with which they estimate kinematic parameters, as demonstrated in a case study.
