Abstract

Tyre marks can signify the presence of the vehicle at the crime scene and are used as evidence which is of great help in identification of the preparator by placing suspect at the scene by matching the tyre with the tyre of suspected vehicle as it is difficult for two different vehicles to leave the same impression. Tyre marks impression are also helpful in hit and run cases as it provides the path and direction of the culprit arrival and departure from the crime scene it also provides the link between the vehicle the victim the crime scene and culprit and can be used for the reconstruction of crime scene. The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of the tyre marks and classify them into the class categories to make it easy for the investigator to recognize the type of tyre marks with mere observation. For this study 100 samples were collected from two wheelers which includes front and rear tyre marks of bike and scooty, along with their "configuration, make, model and type of vehicle." It was observed that different manufacturing brands have different tread designs which make it easy to recognize the model of the tyre and the size that varies according to the vehicle.
