Moreover, a dialectological and linguistic analysis integrates the transcriptions and the voice comparisons which are performed according to the acoustic-phonetic method assessing the strength of evidence.
Engr Sergio Civino is member of AISV (Associazione Italiana Scienze della Voce - Italian Association for Speech Sciences). Voice Identification finds application in different cases, such as false public alarm or identification of an unknown speaker.
VEHICULAR ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION
Kinematics and mechanics are at the base of the method for the vehicular accident reconstruction.
Modern hardware and software tools allow to report on paper or to simulate on a computer the dynamics of an accident which can be useful even to inexperienced persons.
