How to Interpret Commercial Vehicle Event Data Recorders (EDRs)
March 26th - 30th, 2012
Location: Tulsa, Oklahoma
Instructed by:

Ron Baade, Commonwealth Transportation Consultants
William Messerschmidt, Messerschmidt Safety Consulting
Jeremy Daily, The University of Tulsa

Most commercial vehicles in use today have some form of event data recorder (EDR). These EDRs
monitor and record data on the databus of the vehicle, and often are capable of providing information
about the kinematics of a vehicle before, during and after a major collision.

Understanding how to access, recover, and interpret these data is important to engineers and police
involved in collision reconstruction, as well as fleet managers, attorneys, insurance companies and
researchers seeking to prevent future accidents.
