Carlson - Software

Carlson Software Investigations can now be used at the scene of an accident or a crime with CSI Mobile, a field product designed specifically for police departments and consultants who investigate accidents.

Reconstruct traffic accidents… Measure and map crime scenes

See how accidents happened. Determine the way criminals operated. Get powerful forensic diagraming capabilities with CSI Office to effectively reconstruct traffic accidents, complete with the capability for 3D viewing.

Designed specifically for the needs of city, county or state police departments and consulting firms engaged in accident reconstruction, Carlson Software Investigations for the office comes with IntelliCAD® built-in.

Get Powerful Automation
What might take days with other civil software takes just hours, or even minutes, with the powerful, intuitive Carlson Civil.

Road NETwork. Build all roads, intersections and cul-de-sacs in 2D and 3D with a single click of the “PROCESS” button.

Site NETwork. Elevate your estimating accuracy with this intuitive layer-based surface generator and earthwork calculator.

Lot NETwork. Quickly define an entire subdivision of lots based on an outer boundary, interior ROWs or Centerlines, and a simple set of user-defined “rules,” then pick “PROCESS” and the lots appear, defined and labeled.

Here’s real-time kinematic GPS and total station data collection directly in CAD*

• See what you’re collecting; zoom in and out, or pan over

• Do basic COGO (inverse, traverse, sideshot, bearing-bearing intersect) or high-level CAD (inscribe
arcs, layout lots, offset polylines) operations and
everything in between

And Much More!

Carlson Software develops software solutions that bring the
land development professional from concept to completion – the full cycle of a project. An independent company
founded in 1983, Carlson Software is well known for its
comprehensive civil engineering, land surveying,
machine control and positioning, and mining software solutions. Its dedication to customer service is unique in the industry.

Use Carlson Survey together with Carlson’s popular data
collection software, Carlson SurvCE, and you’ll get
powerful, effective, and accurate “Field-to-Finish.”
Thanks to the ability to code all entries in Carlson SurvCE,
symbols, points, and linework are drawn automatically in
Carlson Survey.

In fact, SurvCE serves as an efficient preview screen for the
final drawing — if it looks good on the data collector, it will
process perfectly in Carlson Survey.
