Abstract

The new technological advancements and increasing propagation of Windows mobile devices pose great opportunities for engineers and traffic accidents experts. These gadgets are compact hybrid devices integrating the capabilities of personal digital assistant (PDA), mobile phone, camera, music player, FM radio, Global Positioning System (GPS) and so on. They have standard computing facilities and advanced communication features including wireless and Bluetooth. Some of this embedded characteristics generating us a set of questions as the followings:

Can we obtain the confidence data using a simple windows mobile device (Smartphone)? How can we use these data into current traffic accident reconstruction activities? Which are the driver, car and road parameter logged by some current WM GPS and accelerometer-based application and how can we extend them?

These are simple questions which are trying to answer by research carried out by authors.

Keywords:Traffic Accidents Reconstruction, cell/mobile phones, devices, Global Positioning System, accelerometers
