The IMPACT© - Collision Reconstruction Software has been created by Forensic Reconstruction Specialists Inc. (FRSI) using Microsoft Visual Studio Programming Software. The IMPACT© software covers many specialized areas of collision reconstruction & investigation and now includes the PEDBIKE 2000 Plus© - Pedestrian & Cyclist Specialty Software as part of this new software package.
As new reconstruction techniques and investigative methods are developed, the IMPACT© software will be updated to meet the ever-changing demands.
The following reconstruction topics are covered in this software:
