Investigating vehicle collisions requires thorough data collection. The CrashScan app, used with an OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth adapter, allows investigators to access and interpret data from a vehicle's Event Data Recorder (EDR), often called a "black box," where supported (see support details below). CrashScan helps flag, capture, and interpret stored accident data, aiding in validating insurance claims and providing liability indicators.
Vehicle Support (EDR & Full System Diagnostic Scan)
CrashScan supports over 3000 unique vehicle year/make/models internationally. Check support here: https://collisionsciences.ca/reports/check_support/
Contextual Accident Reports
Successful CrashScan reports detail impact severity, orientation (front/rear/side), and provide context including:
- Accident severity (minor, moderate, or severe)
- EDR trigger thresholds
- 5 seconds of pre-crash data (speed, brake/accelerator pedal use, steering)
- Occupant count and seatbelt status
- Estimated repair cost
- Likelihood of structural crush damage
- Injury risk thresholds (whiplash, injury duration)
- Typical g-forces in daily activities (for context)
*Injury risk algorithms utilize stored acceleration values, scientific articles, and databases like the National Automotive Sampling System (NASS).

Privacy Legislation Status (EDR Data)
Canada: No specific legislation; data is considered diagnostic and non-private. However, insurers generally obtain consent as best practice.
United States: The federal Driver Privacy Act of 2015, along with statutes in seventeen states (Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington), places limitations on EDR data retrieval and emphasizes owner/lessee consent, with certain exceptions.
End-User Consent
Downloading the CrashScan app constitutes consent to its installation, future updates, and data collection practices as detailed in our privacy statement. You can withdraw consent by uninstalling the app. For more information, visit CollisionSciences.ca.

这个应用对于事故调查非常有帮助，数据收集非常全面。唯一的缺点是有些车型不支持，希望能改进。总体来说，非常推荐给专业人士使用。
This app is a game-changer for accident investigation! It's user-friendly and the integration with OBDLink MX+ is seamless. The only downside is the limited support for certain car models. Still, highly recommended for professionals!
Très pratique pour les enquêtes sur les accidents. L'interface est intuitive et les données sont précises. J'aurais aimé plus de modèles de voitures supportés, mais c'est déjà un excellent outil.
Eine tolle App für Unfallanalysen. Die Daten sind gut strukturiert und leicht zu interpretieren. Es wäre schön, wenn mehr Fahrzeugtypen unterstützt würden, aber insgesamt sehr hilfreich.
画面精美，玩法简单易懂，但是越玩越上瘾！推荐！
