3D scan capturing of incidents after they have occurred, allows us to have accurate spatial records of the environment which could help in investigations and possible precautionary measures in future. Possible incidents could include, structural failures, derailing of trains, vehicle accidents etc. The data could also serve as a record for the following:
-Determining the cause of the incident
-Quantifying the extent of the damage
-Planning and scheduling for the removal of rubble, damaged structures and unsafe objects and equipment
-Structural and deformation analysis
-As evidence in any investigation or even court proceedings
