A lack of standardization as to the nature of the data recorded, the formats in which it is currently stored, the proprietary means by which data can be retrieved, and concerns relating to individual privacy, may provide substantial roadblocks to wide data accessibility. National Research Council, National Aeronautical Establishment, Ottawa, Canada. Deploying the airbags is not a requirement to make the recorder lock the data. 1973. It will be further argued in this paper that the EDR program and implementation plan could and should include positive incentives and reward the motorist and occupants for wearing safety belts while at the same time decreasing the annual costs of negligence to society. Specific examples will be discussed that illustrate the richness, depth, quality, and the variety of the data. UMTRI-76304.

WebAn Event Data Recorder (EDR) is a function or device installed in a motor vehicle to record technical vehicle and occupant information for a brief period of time (seconds, not minutes) before, during and after a crash for the purpose of monitoring and assessing vehicle safety system performance. Part 3File: 2.2MB In August 1995, several other organizations joined the IIHS to renew the petition for mandatory use of on board electronic recorders. The group's objective was to facilitate the collection and use of collision-avoidance and crashworthiness data from on-board EDRs.

Combining Crash Recorder and Paired Comparison Techniques: Injury Risk Functions in Frontal and Rear-End Impacts with Special Reference to Neck Injuries (18th ESV Paper). Black boxes have become a battleground in states such as California, where earlier this year, insurance companies and automakers lined up on opposite sides of a black box data protection bill that would have required automakers to let car owners block or opt out of recording vehicle information.
