The first case where he combined digital and physical traces dates back more than 17 years, and he helped in shaping this ‘hybrid approach’ by sharing several of his findings within the EVU-conferences.
Found an iPhone aboard your case vehicle? It might well have recorded the drive up to the crash – velocities included! Aart has analysed iPhone data in several cases and tested the data in experiments. He will explain how to obtain the data and, more importantly, how to assess its plausibility and accuracy.
