Abstract
The foundations of each crime scene examination by our software are photographs or castings [1,5], including measurements from the pattern found (reference scales). The pattern can be taken from almost any surface. Mainly there are tire tracks on solid ground, sand, snow or mud, but we also have Figures of patterns on the skin of a person, imprints on the inside of trousers and objects lying on the street which were driven over by the car.
Highlights
During the last decades, the “Tire Book”, with about 5.000 printed tire patterns, was the only way to find the identity of a tire from a corresponding tire track
With the help of modern IT equipment it will be more efficient for the investigators of forensic tire impression to analyze crime scenes [1,2,3,4]
Our databases of cars and tires are a useful resource for crime scene investigators to find specific cars and tires at a crime scene
Summary
The identification of tire tracks at crime scenes has become very popular during the last 20 years. The target of our database is mainly the identification of tire patterns, but they can be used for copyright violation, mainly by Asian companies, and information on the import and export market of tires. In that case (normally up to 10 results) you have to manually compare the Figure from the crime scene to the photos in our database. For the identification of vehicle tire tracks at the crime scene, you can measure the wheel base and front and rear tracks. The quality of these measurements depends on the soil texture, the axle design of the car and its weight. Our databases of cars and tires are a useful resource for crime scene investigators to find specific cars and tires at a crime scene
