Event data recording system
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recording system (EDR). The main purpose of EDR
is to record some of the vehicle's vehicle states in case
of major collision accident, including the vehicle's
longitudinal acceleration, braking state, vehicle speed
and vehicle identification number (VIN) so as to
understand the driving situation of the vehicle in case
of collision accident. The EDR will not record data
under normal driving conditions.
Specific meaning of record content:
● Longitudinal acceleration: The acceleration in the
forward direction of the vehicle at the time of
collision accident.
● Brake state: The braking situation in case of
collision accident.
● Vehicle speed: the vehicle speed at which the
collision accident occurs.
● Vehicle identification code: i.e. vehicle VIN.
The purpose of the above is to capture the
vehicle state at the time of the incident and
to facilitate the investigation of the collision
accident by third parties such as law
enforcement.
Access to the data recorded by EDR requires a special
equipment and authorization from the vehicle or
EDR. In addition to the manufacturer of the vehicle,
third parties with specialized equipment (such as law
enforcement) can access the information when
authorized to use the vehicle or EDR.
