Good to know
Duanne Watkins from JTOL/GeoTime assists in simplifying data analysis by consolidating multiple data sources into a clear investigative picture, and Ray Ford, a leading GPS and Telematics expert, provides insights into GPS technology, its sources and vulnerabilities. Delegates receive real-life examples showcasing the reliability of speed data from various vehicle systems, plus access to in-house research and development results from the past five years on infotainment system event data — which can often not be as it seems. Expert reports authored by the course instructors have been widely used in Vehicle Systems Forensics cases across the UK, benefiting both prosecution and defence teams.
