Collision Investigation

Highlights

Data transfer from EDM, GPS, datalogger and user-defined co ordinate files
Automatic formation of DTMs (Digital Terrain Models)
Dynamic contouring - automatic generation of contours at any interval, updated in parallel with changes in the DTM
Interrogation of DTMs, including level interpolation, section profiles and distances between points/along features
Interactive on-screen editing of points, features, text etc
Superimposition of up to six surveys on screen
Bitmap image backdrop (i.e. aerial photographs or raster maps)
User-definable features and symbols
Application of surface codes to distinguish between surface types, e.g. tarmac, grass, water etc (all user definable)
Printing of data and QA reports for court purposes, plus traverse calculation and adjustment
Output of data suitable for other systems, such as DXF for AUTOCAD™
Produce scaled plan drawings and sections on any Windows printer or plotter
Realtime textured, rendered 3D views and fly-bys with bitmap draping (aerial photos and maps)
Generating data using simple co-ordinate geometry
Viewing and interrogation of any LSS-generated models of up to 1 million points
Command sensitive on-screen help facility
Dongle protected for easy transfer between different computers, including portables

New all-inclusive scheme

For two decades McCarthy Taylor has been providing quality land survey and terrain modelling software and since the late 1980's has counted many of the country's police collision investigators amongst its hundreds of users who have been utilising it for the generation of site plans.

PASS, which stands for Police Accident Survey System has functionality equivalent to our commercial system - LSS Vista, but with a 10,000 point per survey limit. Until recently this has proved more than adequate for most uses, but with the growing interest in 3D visualisation, line of sight analysis and the use of Ordnance Survey MasterMap Street level mapping and aerial photography it is clear that the requirements of collision investigation are moving forward.

With this in mind, and in response to requests from a number of existing users, we have launched a bundled system called PASSPORT, which comprises a copy of LSS Elite and ten training credits. This means that for a single annual payment a collision investigation team will get a networkable copy of our top survey, modelling and analysis package, technical support, software updates and up to ten places on a workshop or five places on one of our regular land survey training courses (two credits per place). This way, any new member of the team will receive the best possible training both in LSS and survey techniques and the more experienced user will benefit from attending one or more of our workshops.

With quality assurance high on the list of priorities for users of PASS and LSS, there's little wonder our training courses are always popular, run as they are by experienced trainers with extensive survey experience.

Exclusive membership of the PASSPORT scheme enables those organisations with multiple users and/or offices, to purchase additional copies of the software along with extra training credits, all at the same attractive discount.

COLLISION INVESTIGATION
PASS - Police Accident Survey System Equivalent to LSS Vista, but with a 10,000 point per model survey limit, LSS PASS is available to police organisations who perform accident surveys on a non-commercial basis. PASS is a complete accident investigation survey system, which is capable of downloading surveys from most EDM and GPS instruments. It will automatically produce a contoured scaled plan with user-definable line styles and symbols. All surveyed objects such as trees, kerbs, hedges, street furniture, road markings, skid marks, vehicles and debris may be surveyed and represented to scale on the plan. Exchange drawings with other CAD systems and produce final quality scaled drawings on any Windows printer or plotter. The 3D fly-through facility further enhances the flexibility of the system as a presentation and investigation tool.
