Abstract

This paper deals with the FORTIS forensic system for parametrization of injuries, which allows to make the scoring of injuries, while it offers possibilities for its utilisation for the needs of the road transportation experts at the analysis of vehicle - pedestrian accident cases. The paper points out the present limited possibility of using the verbal description of injuries for the needs of experts from the field of road transportation, as well as the options of the FORTIS system that creates a new area for a deeper interdisciplinary approach in the field of expert evidence. The work presents forensic investigation of fatal injuries of pedestrians and an assessment carried out via the FORTIS system in comparison with AIS. Consequently, the PC FORTIS program is introduced that is designed for parametrization and localization of injuries made by the medical examiners, with outputs usable for the needs of the road accident analysts for calculations in the PC Crash program. Further the process on the side of the examiner necessary for co-ordination of interdisciplinary investigation of the accident and its possibility to understand the process of the accident via video-recording from calculations attached to the expert opinion is described. At the end is assessed the overall impact of the mentioned process on the increase of effectiveness of investigation, and on the creation of possibility for making the legal proceeding shorter.
