Abstract:

This digest summarizes the final report for NCHRP Project 17-24 (available as NCHRP Web-Only Document 75). This digest examines the benefits and the costs of using Event Data Recorder (EDR) data in highway crash data analysis and research. Although EDRs hold tremendous promise for improving highway crash data analysis, this digest identifies several issues that may impede the use of EDR data for this purpose. These impediments include technological, legal, and consumer acceptability concerns. These issues were investigated in depth and recommendations were developed for resolution of these potential barriers to the use of EDR data.
