Evaluation of event data recorders in real world crashes and full-scale crash tests
… of these safety systems in what are known as Event Data Recorders (EDRs). Since the only other record of these parameters, specifically crash pulse, comes from staged crash tests in a controlled environment, the advent of the EDR has become increasingly important to crash researchers. The …

The Potential of Event Data Recorders to Improve Impact Injury Assessment in Real World Crashes
Event data recorders (EDRs) are an invaluable data source that have begun to, and will increasingly, provide novel insight into motor vehicle crash characteristics. The "black boxes" in automobiles, EDRs directly measure precrash and crash kinematics. This data has the potential to eclipse the many …

Evaluation of the flail space model utilizing event data recorder technology
… validity of the model. Recent implementation of Event Data Recorder (EDR) technology in a number of late model vehicles presents a different perspective on the assessment of the validity of occupant risk based on the flail space model. EDRs are capable of electronically recording data such as …

The accuracy of energy-based crash reconstruction techniques using event data recorder measurements
… to result in large errors. The recent advent of Event Data Recorder (EDR) technology has provided engineers with measured delta-Vs from real-world collisions. These accurate measurements were the basis for several studies conducted in this thesis.</p> <p>As EDRs are a new technology, little has …

Effect of Belt Usage Reporting Errors on Injury Risk Estimates
… of National Automotive Sampling System-Crash Data System (NASS-CDS) investigators on injury risk estimates. Current estimates of injury risk are developed under the assumption that NASS-CDS investigators are always accurate at determining seat belt usage. The primary purpose of this research …

Pedal Misapplication: Past, Present, and Future
… multiple samples of PM crashes from a variety of data sources using both established and novel methods to gain new insight into the characteristics and frequency of PM crashes. 2. Use the confirmed, real-world PM crash data to develop a custom vehicle dynamics simulation and evaluate the overall …

Evaluating the Potential of an Intersection Driver Assistance System to Prevent U.S. Intersection Crashes
… I-ADAS is to detect oncoming vehicles and in the event of an imminent collision can (a) alert the driver and/or (b) autonomously evade the crash. Another function of I-ADAS may be to detect and prevent imminent traffic signal violations (i.e. running a red light or stop sign) earlier in the …
