Reality Capture Technology Critical Part of the Outcome of Accident Investigation
Interview with Stanley C. Stoll, CEO and Pricipal Engineer of KNOTT Laboratories
In this insightful interview, Megan Hansen (Leica Geosystems) talks with Stanley C. Stoll, CEO and Principal Engineer at KNOTT Laboratories, about the critical role of reality capture technology in crash and accident investigations.
Established in 1982, KNOTT Laboratories has evolved from structural engineering to include collision reconstruction and digital media forensics. Stanley discusses how advanced laser scanning tools like the Leica RTC360 scanner and the Cyclone REGISTER 360 software enhance their investigative capabilities, particularly in complex cases involving officer-involved shootings and vehicle accidents.
Highlighting specific projects, Stanley shares how Leica technology was pivotal in high-profile cases such as the Tony Stewart sprint car incident. When NASCAR legend Tony Stewart hit and killed an up-and-coming competitor on a rural dirt track, local police ruled it an accident. Forensic engineers from Knott reconstructing the race demonstrated the impact of 3D technology use on case outcomes.
Stan also emphasizes the benefits of laser scanning, including accuracy, efficiency, and safety improvements in data collection.
Watch this interview and learn more about how cutting-edge forensic engineering tools are shaping the future of accident investigation and the meticulous processes behind them.
