At TRL, we understand that video evidence can hold the key to accurately reconstructing collisions. From dashcam recordings and CCTV footage to mobile phone clips and in-vehicle data captures, our forensic video analysis services offer an impartial, science-based approach to uncovering vital facts. By combining state-of-the-art technology with deep expertise, we help legal professionals, insurers, and government agencies interpret complex events and present findings in a clear and comprehensive manner.

Speed and sight line analysis
Video footage can be analysed to estimate vehicle speeds and establish a sequence of events leading up to a collision. With these insights, we can determine whether a driver was complying with speed limits, or other Highway Code rules, to determine potential causation and contributory negligence.
In addition to speed assessments, sight line analysis can determine what each road user could realistically see at crucial moments. This evidence may prove especially valuable when determining whether a driver or rider had sufficient opportunity to avoid a collision. Sight line analysis can also highlight the impact of environmental factors, such as lighting conditions, road furniture, or adverse weather, which might otherwise be overlooked. Combining sight line analysis with a 3D model of the collision scene can demonstrate the views available to the parties involved.
Enhancement and audio analysis
Clear, high-quality footage is often essential when presenting evidence in court, but many videos recorded in real-world settings may suffer from poor lighting, blurring, or background noise. At TRL, our forensic video experts use industry-leading software and techniques to enhance the clarity of visuals. Whether adjusting brightness levels, reducing grain, or stabilising shaky recordings, we aim to present the truest possible representation of events.
In certain cases, audio signals captured alongside video can also offer invaluable context. Our analysts can identify, isolate, and enhance audio content to detect cues such as warning sounds, collisions, or verbal exchanges. By synchronising audio with visual footage, we can create a holistic representation of the event, enabling a more complete understanding of the incident.
