Vehicle Electronics and Black Box Interrogation

Vehicle Event Data Recorders (EDRs) or ‘Black Boxes’ are present in most modern passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles and have become a common, yet crucial component of collision investigations. These devices may record vast amounts of collision and pre-collision information such as vehicle speed, collision severity, brake use or seatbelt status specific to your vehicle. Impact Forensics has the necessary equipment and certification to access, retrieve and analyze this information as it relates to your claim.

 

But what often remains unrealized is that the progressive ‘electrification’ of vehicles has introduced a vast number of vehicle sensors, processors and digital controllers that may also record information, which can be just as revealing. Often, when accidents happen, the vehicle computer can take a diagnostic ‘snap shot’ of what was going on with the vehicle at the time of the incident. Coupled with a comprehensive analysis and reconstruction of the collision circumstances, this information can provide a powerful and irrefutable tool in the investigative process.
