Crash Data Services, LLC
| Providing quality traffic accident investigation and reconstruction |
Crash data is recorded in a vehicle component
called an event data recorder. Event data
recorders are commonly referred to as vehicle
black boxes and are part of a vehicle’s airbag
control module, powertrain control module, or
rollover sensor.
There is already an overwhelming trend for auto
manufacturers to install event data recorders in
passenger cars, light trucks, sport utility vehicles
and even some heavy trucks. This trend has
made accident reconstruction an increasingly
diverse practice, requiring traditional
reconstructive training and innovative technical
assessment.
As of today, the types of recorded crash data
(speed, brake use, etc...) are contingent upon the
year, make, and model of the vehicle. And, in
addition, only certain manufacturers have made
their data available to the public.
Therefore, when reconstructing an accident, it
becomes extremely important that the expert be
familiar with those vehicles configured to record
data after a collision. And, the expert should be
able to download the vehicles which are already
publicly available. To view a list of available
vehicles via Bosch's crash data retrieval system,

While recorded crash data from a vehicle's black
box can be extremely helpful in determining the
events leading up to an accident, the data is not
intended to replace traditional accident
reconstruction techniques. Our experts strive to
use recorded crash data as a means of validating
our opinions.
Our certified accident reconstructionists are also
certified as crash data retrieval technicians and
analysts. Our reconstruction experts have
performed hundreds of downloads and are always
available to answer any questions about vehicle
coverage or data availability. To learn more about
vehicle black boxes and crash data retrieval,

| Some manufacturers have made their crash data publicly available. This means that their vehicles are not only equipped with an event data recorder, but can also be downloaded by a publicly available tool. Today, the only tool capable of downloading publicly available crash data is manufactured by Bosch, called the Crash Data Retrieval System. |

| By September 1st, 2012, NHTSA will require that all manufacturers make their event data recorders available to the public for download. They will also be required to record at least 15 types of crash data. Some of the required crash data include pre-crash speed, engine throttle, brake use, measured changes in forward velocity (Delta-V), driver safety belt use, airbag warning lamp status and airbag deployment times. To read more about NHTSA's ruling which led to these requirements, please click here. |
