Optimus Corp.'s AutoDocs system is designed as a super-efficient, low-cost, automated crash-scene measurement and document system for law enforcement, insurance investigators and others, said Optimus.

The company said AutoDocs can provide significant accuracy and speed over manual and laser-based systems for the on-site investigation of both motore vehicle and rail accidents - allowing investigators to complete their taks in minutes instead of hours. It also makes more effective use of manpower resources because only one individual is required to operate the system, according to Optimus.

Using GPS, AutoDocs automatically generates a graphical representation of the scene that is accurate to less than two centimeters, said Optimus.

The investigator simply "points and clicks" important crash scene objects and AutoDocs automatically records the GPS measurements for each point, eliminating manual mistakes. Upon completion of the measurements, the processing software accurately "draws" the scene and generates a companion text-based accident report.

The accident report and drawing can then be provided to vehicle operators on the scene as well as wirelessly emailed to law enforcement agencies, insurance firms and crash scene investigation companies, said Optimus.
