Transport
The applications for high level photography in the transport arena are both wide and varied. Not only can elevated photos be used for traffic surveys, but they also provide invaluable information for road traffic collisions and insurance claims.
Road Traffic Collisions
Elevated photography is increasingly used to record the nature and location of material evidence at the site of road traffic collisions, together with essential pieces of information such as road layout and markings. Our images can then be used to support written reports and ultimately enhance the visual impact of evidence in the courts.
Traffic and Road Surveys
The elevated images created by Photomast Solutions can be used to assist road planners in the re-design of road layout, as well as determining traffic flows and accident blackspots. Monitoring can take place over a variety of timeframes - from minutes to hours, or even days - and the images can then be placed onto CD to enable easy viewing.
Insurance Claims
Elevated photos of accident sites can be used to convey detailed information about the scene through a bird's eye view from an array of unique angles. Together with witness statements they can help to provide an overall picture to support the validity of many motor insurance claims.
Provision of a photographic record of the scene can provide a critical negotiation tool to enable early settlement and can even be carried out weeks or months after the event to highlight road layout and expose vital details that may not be seen at ground level.
Other applications for elevated photography within the field of transport are:
^ Highway liability issues
^ Road safety campaigns
^ Route risk assessment
^ Traffic accident reconstruction
^ Road safety posters
^ Driver training manuals
