Crash Magic Desktop is the desktop successor to Intersection Magic. It's been re-written from the ground up using the new Magic Wands Technology. Some of the new features include:
  • Support for MS SQL Server, Oracle, MS Access
  • Built-in mapping (requires the purchase of ArcView GIS 8.x)
  • Unlimited number of fields
  • New and improved interface
  • Support for all common data types (number, text, date, etc.)
  • Support for corridor diagrams
  • True, expression based rules for generation of graphics
  • XML-based configuration files
  • Support for long filenames, UNC paths, etc.

Crash Magic Online is the browser-based alternative Crash Magic. All of the program configuration, processing, and maintenance exist only on the server. It's features include:
  • All reporting features of Crash Magic
  • Nothing to install. Just load a browser
  • Automatic, transparent updates
  • All work is preserved until explicitly deleted
  • Centralized storage of all reports, filters, charts
  • Centralized configuration

Note: While this program is generally available as a service, DOT's may purchase a server license in order to expose in-house data to remote agencies.

Magic Wands are a suite of tools that in-house or contract programmers can use to integrate collision diagrams, charts, reports and other Magic Wands Technologies.
  • COM based controls work in VB, C++, .NET and it's native Delphi
  • Web Service SOAP based controls achieve cross-platform operation
  • Standards-based XML configuration and settings files
  • Open graphics format SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)

Note: This toolkit is not a "program" and is not functional without a custom program that uses it. Pd' Programming is available to create custom applications that integrate with your existing systems.

Map Magic

(ArcView 3.1 pin-mapping extension)

Intersection Magic is Pd' Programming's flagship product. First created in 1987 as a DOS graphics application, since re-written for Windows, Intersection Magic has grown to become the de-facto standard for crash records analysis across the U.S. and in Canada.
  • The most widely used crash records analysis tool on the market today
  • The first interactive, automated collision diagram product ever. (1987)
  • The most configurable, customizable reporting product for crash records analysis

Map Magic is an add-on pin-map product for Intersection Magic. It enables Intersection Magic to communicate with ArcView GIS and produce pin-maps depicting either individual crash records or aggregate high accident locations. Produces true ArcView themes in either 2D or 3D.
  • Aggregate maps show one symbol per intersection, sized and colored based on count or rate of crashes
  • Individal pin maps show one symbol per crash. Crashes at the same location are stacked using 3D graphics
  • Requires little GIS knowledge for impressive results
  • Automatically geocodes 80+% intersections on most maps
