Event Data Recorder (EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an
EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations such as an air bag de-
ployment or hitting a road obstacle, data
that will assist in understanding how a ve-
hicle’s systems performed. The EDR is de-
signed to record data related to the driving
dynamics and safety systems for a short
time: max. 30 seconds, typically less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to re-
cord the following data, for example:
– How various systems in the vehicle
were operating.
– Whether or not the driver and pass-
enger seat belts were fastened.
– How far, if at all, the driver was depress-
ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
– How fast the vehicle was traveling.
This data can help provide a better under-
standing of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
EDR data is recorded by the vehicle only
if a nontrivial crash situation occurs; no
data is recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data, for
instance name, gender, age, and crash loca-
tion, are recorded.
However, other parties such as law enforce-
ment could combine the EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to
the vehicle manufacturer, other parties such
as law enforcement that have the special
equipment can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
