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 these embedded facilities generate a set of questions such as the following:
Can we obtain data using a simple windows mobile device (Smartphone)? How can we use these data in 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 we are trying to answer from research carried out by the authors.
