On-Board Recording for Commercial Motor Vehicles and Drivers: Since 1972, NHTSA has operated a Special Crash Investigations (SCI) program, which provides the agency with the flexibility to acquire detailed engineering information quickly on high visibility traffic crashes of special interest. Proceedings. Proceedings of the 17thInternational Technical Conference on the Enhanced Safety of Vehicles (ESV) Conference, June 4-7, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Generally, the T&B EDR WG found that EDR data should be collected when a substantial crash occurs, and thus advised that triggering the EDR should occur when the vehicles deceleration exceeded 2-4 g. In the process of developing the data elements, survivability, and event description findings, the T&B EDR WG felt the need for some research effort in certain areas. 8314-80-213/ DOT/HS 805 914.

WebAn Event Data Recorder (EDR) is a function or device installed in a motor vehicle to record technical vehicle and occupant information for a very brief period of time before, during, and after a crash solely for the purpose of monitoring and assessing vehicle safety system performance. 98-S6-O-12. WebIn the US 49/563.5 regulatory framework, Event data recorder is defined as a a device or function in a vehicle that records the vehicle's dynamic time-series data during the time period just prior to a crash event (e.g., vehicle speed vs. time) or during a crash event (e.g., delta-V vs. time), intended for retrieval after the crash event.
