Next Generation Event Data Recorders: Changing the Landscape of Accident Reconstruction Presented by: Nel Carter, MS., PE / Explico Engineering

May 21, 2025, 12:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Nearly all new passenger vehicles are equipped with an onboard electronic data recorder (EDR) that record crucial information just before a crash. These systems have evolved significantly since becoming standardized in 2012, with many manufacturers now integrating advanced features like photographs and video recordings. Successfully preserving, downloading, and analyzing this data can efficiently provide valuable insight on accident causation. In this presentation, we’ll explore a brief history of event data recorder systems, tracing their development from early models in the mid-1990s to today’s cutting-edge technology. We’ll dive into the different types of data recorders, their recording capabilities, and the specific data elements they capture. Through real-life case studies of vehicle crashes, you’ll see firsthand how EDR systems can provide valuable insights into accident causation and learn how to leverage this powerful data to enhance your legal strategy.
