3 p. International Technical Conference on Experimental Safety Vehicles. Event Data Recorders (EDR) are devices installed in motor vehicles to record technical vehicle and occupant information for a brief period before, during, and after a triggering event, typically a crash or near-crash event. The data that is recorded and that can be read out and analyzed differs depending on the type of EDR that is installed in a particular vehicle and when the vehicle was manufactured. The system also opens a cellular telephone voice line between the PSAP and the vehicle occupants after the data message has been received. ; Tingvall, C. 2000.

Based on a separate NHTSA regulation passed in 2012, if a vehicle today does have an event data recorder, it must track 15 specific data points, including speed, steering, braking, acceleration, seatbelt use, and, in the event of a crash, force of impact and whether airbags deployed. In most vehicles, they're part of the airbag control module, and originally were included to ensure airbags deployed when they were supposed to. Sporner, A.; Kramlick, T. June, 2001. UMTRI-19864.
