Technical Report Overview

Technical reports provide comprehensive assessments of vehicle collisions by analyzing damage patterns, vehicle metadata, and accident context. Our machine learning models process vehicle damage images along with detailed vehicle information (make, model, year, VIN, safety features) to calculate critical crash metrics including Delta-V (change in velocity), Principal Direction of Force (PDOF), and damage severity scores across different vehicle zones.

Two-Vehicle Analysis​

The API supports both single-vehicle and two-vehicle crash scenarios:

  • Plaintiff Vehicle (required): The primary vehicle in the accident reconstruction, typically the client's vehicle
  • Defendant Vehicle (optional): The other vehicle involved in the collision - omit for single-vehicle crashes
  • Accident Metadata: Contextual information including date, time, location, and description to enrich the analysis

What's Included in a Report​

Each technical report contains:

  • Delta-V Calculations: Minimum and maximum change in velocity (mph) during impact
  • Confidence Score: Statistical confidence level (0-100%) of the analysis based on image quality and damage visibility
  • PDOF Analysis: Principal Direction of Force angle (0-360°) indicating the primary impact direction
  • Zone-Based Damage Scores: Detailed damage assessment for each vehicle zone (front, rear, sides, roof)
  • Calculation Method: The analysis approach used (ML-based, crush depth analysis, or hybrid)
  • Analyzed Zones: List of vehicle areas that were successfully assessed from the provided images

Example Report​

The API generates a comprehensive technical report that includes visual diagrams, damage assessments, and detailed calculations. The report includes:

  • Vehicle damage visualization with annotated zones
  • Delta-V calculations with confidence intervals
  • PDOF diagrams showing impact direction
  • Detailed damage scores for each vehicle zone
  • Methodology and calculation details
