TraCS offers five diagraming options:
Image Capture and Import

Capability to scan a hand-drawn diagram into a form utilizing a flatbed scanner or barcode imager or to import a graphics file as a diagram.





TraCS Diagram Tool

A simple to use, drag-and-drop diagramming tool that provides the user with images of the most common crash elements including vehicles, roadways, pedestrians, animals, trees, text, and other objects. Once an element of a crash has been placed on the diagram the user may then move, rotate, or size these elements as needed. TraCS Diagrams are then stored in a compressed format that can be transferred efficiently over a wireless network.





Microsoft Visio

Microsoft Vsio can also be used with TraCS to diagram accidents or other incidents. Visio is a sophisticated diagramming tool that allows a user to create anything from the simplest diagrams (e.g., fender bender) to the most complex and detailed diagrams (e.g., an accident involving a fatality). Visio can be seamlessly launched from TraCS and after the diagram has been created in Visio it can be directly populated onto a TraCS form. TraCS saves all diagrams in their native format so that they can be easily modified and updated by the application that created them.

The latest version of Microsoft Visio is 2010 and must be purchased separately. For more information on Microsoft Visio click here.
