The Crash Zone - Version 9 is here!

Crash Scene Diagrams Made Easy

For nearly 20 years The Crash Zone has been the drawing program of choice for Accident Reconstructionists and Law Enforcement Officers who need to accurately map crash scenes. The latest version of The Crash Zone has even more tools for Crash Investigators and Reconstructionists, including easy 3D animations, a vehicle specifications database, skid analysis and momentum calculations, and an easy-to-use 3D body poser. Crash Zone is also ideal for drawing crime scenes!

Crash Zone 8 and Crime Zone 8 users can upgrade to Version 9 for $299 per license.
Users of older versions, please call for pricing.*

 Completely Accurate - Your diagrams are always as accurate as the measurements you take at the crash scene. The Crash Zone is a true vector-based drawing program that stores measurements and performs mathematical computations to 16 place accuracy. You can import data from total stations and other laser measurement devices, photogrametry, or enter manually.

Widely accepted in court!  Crash and Accident Scene Investigators know that an accurate diagram of the scene can make all the difference in their case. Thousands of police officers and Crash Reconstructionists have used diagrams and animations created with The Crash Zone and The Crime Zone to help win their court cases.

Also for Drawing Crime Scenes! If you also draw crime scenes, The Crash Zone has all the features you will need, including powerful tools for drawing 2D and 3D rooms and buildings, ability to easily show blood spatter and other evidence on vertical surfaces, an accurate 2D/3D body poser, 3D animation, thousands of pre-drawng symbols of evidence, weapons, and more. Crash Zone and Crime Zone are essentially the same program, you can pick the name you prefer to use.

Crash Zone 9 includes:               Printed User's Manual                Comprehensive electronic help
CD full of training movies           FREE Technical Support              NO annual maintenance fees!

 One Click 3D!Improved in V9! With just one mouse click you can see your scene in 3D and view it from any side! You just complete your drawing in 2D, where it's easy to draw, while the complex 3D scene is created for you in the background. If you want to do more, use the 3D tools to change the elevation of objects, show signs and evidence on walls, align vehicles to sloped roadways, generate profiles, construct trajectories, and create complex 3D surfaces. A powerful Body Poser feature with a 3D preview window makes it painless to pose bodies exactly the way you want them. With the new light source shading and vehicle reflectivity controls, you're 3D views will be more realistic than ever.

Easy Vehicle Database!Now you can obtain vehicle specifications and a scaled outline for most vehicles by selecting them from an industry-standard database. The outline is drawn to exact specifications for length, width, center of mass, wheelbase, front and rear overhang. Easily stretch any of the detailed, 3D vehicle symbols to have the same size as the outline. Updates to the database can always be downloaded for free! (Specifications are based on the Canadian Vehicle Specifications as published by the Canadian Assoc. of Road Safety Professionals, CARSP.)

Compatible With Laser Devices - Improved in V9!Ideal for forensic mapping! Import measurement data from Laser Technology systems and most total stations made by Leica, Topcon, Sokkia, Nikon AIMS, and more. For even faster drawings, use The Pocket Zone data collection software to capture all your measurements at the scene! Pocket Zone lets you use your Pocket PC to collect measurements directly from your total station or Laser Technology device and generate your drawing at the site. You leave the scene knowing you have accurately measured and recorded every point. Click to learn more.

Import Photos -New in V9! Bring in geo-referenced images from Microsoft's Bing™ maps, or other aerial photographs to use as a background or to trace over. Import photographs from digital cameras in .bmp, .jpg, or .wmf formats. Place photos anywhere in your diagrams to show vehicle damage, body positions, evidence and more. Use digital images as a background or to show a vertical surface in a 3D view, such as a road sign or front of a building.

Training Widely Available!Training courses are available at colleges and institutes across North America, including The IPTM, Henry Lee Institute, Ontario Police College, Fox Valley College, UC Riverside, and many more.

"You can't beat the capabilities for the cost! Crash Zone is easy to
learn and easy to use. It provides accurate, sharp looking
scaled drawings.  Animation and 3D are also simple to do!"
T. Shawn Deen, Rocky Mountain Investigative Services 

Most people agree, it's very difficult to create a 3D drawing on a 2D surface - like a computer monitor. In Crash Zone, you create your diagram with ease in 2D and click one button to view it in 3D! The generation of complex 3D objects and symbols is done for you in the background! You can view thescene from any vantage point and even do "walk-throughs", show evidence on walls, or place your own photographs to show vertical surfaces. Create 3D surfaces to show sloped roadways and easily align vehicles to the slope. Use The Crash Zone's 3D Animation tools to create fast and easy animations of the event - no expensive consultants needed!
