PERSUASIVE & POWERFUL

I just thought I would let you know that the animation that you all helped me with, and for which you supplied me with a model of a Holden utility, has helped me clear a client of serious criminal charges. After reading my report and seeing the animation, the opposition agreed with my figures and the prosecution withdrew criminal charges and laid a minor traffic offence. I want to thank you and those who helped. It is important that we see justice served by a correct interpretation of evidence at collision scenes and ARAS is a tool towards that end.

In the early morning hours of May 19, 2007, a weary tractor trailer driver travelling north on Interstate 95 in Connecticut pulled over and parked illegally on the shoulder of an exit ramp. The driver, unfortunately, did not display any emergency markers, flares or even have his emergency lights flashing.
Some time later, a van exiting the same ramp apparently unable to recognize the truck as a hazard, struck the back of it. The driver was killed.
We could have called this article ARAS 360's First Court Accepted Case except the ARAS 360 animation produced for this accident was so convincing, the case was settled before it went to trial: the plaintiff side was awarded the maximum.
Reflective triangles were used in the animation even though they were not present at the scene of the accident to demonstrate that if the driver, in fact, had fallen asleep at the wheel, which was speculated, had triangles been put out, running them over would have surely woken up the van driver and may have averted the crash in the first place. The tractor trailer driver was cited for illegal and improper parking.
The animator, accident reconstructionist Chet Tomlinson out of St. Johns, FL was able to create this animation in a fraction of the time it would have taken using his previous accident reconstruction software. Chet says he actually would not have been able to effectively recreate this animation using the competitor's software because it would have simply bogged down his computer.
