The police said that the tool allows investigators to create diagrams of accident scenes using pre-loaded road layouts, including intersections, T-junctions and straight roads. It also includes symbols representing vehicles, motorcycles, traffic signs, streetlights and other elements relevant to accident investigations.
The software also allows investigators to import Google Maps and satellite images to prepare more detailed diagrams of accident scenes.
