IronWood Technologies, Inc. Video and Computer-Generated Animation
IWT obtains broadcast-quality, vibration-free, gyrostabilized video footage from hyrail vehicles, trains, helicopters or fixed wing aircraft in all weather and lighting conditions. Video footage is taken with a special lens arrangement to closely approximate the range of vision experienced by a motorist, locomotive engineer, or eyewitness. IWT can direct reenactments of the events leading up to the accident, coordinating with railroad operations management to schedule crews, equipment and track necessary for the reenactment. Video or film footage of the reenactment can then be closely matched to actual event recorder data from the incident to recreate as closely as possible what participants saw in the final moments leading up to the accident. Sight distances can be measured and compared for both on-board personnel, bystanders, and victims.
