Installation Of Black Box In Automobile

Abstract

Most people associate black boxes with airplanes but they are no longer just the key tool in investigation of airplane accidents. The event data recorder (EDR) as the black box is officially called is slowly gaining an important role in investigation of car accidents as well. Despite the fact that some people have expressed concerns about privacy issues, car black boxes are not helpful for car accident investigators and insurance companies only. By recording the events and actions of the driver including speed, braking, turning, etc. seconds before the collision, the car black box will undoubtedly help both the police and insurance companies in reconstruction of the events before the accident but it will also bring a number of benefits for the car's owner. In our project we focused on some parameters of cars which may be helpful to find out the real cause of the accident or to have a brief idea about the accident. The main parts of the black box are Event Data Recorder (EDR), Crash Survival Memory Unit (CSMU).
