Abstract
Why is it necessary to create a new Crash Recorder?
In the market there are several Event Data Recorders (EDR). But they are not easy to install in the car and also they are expensive. Price and installation are very high, because the EDR has to be connected to the car – for example with the indicators and the speed of the car.
The result: the market doesn't accept it but it is more and more necessary that the cars are fitted out with crash recorders because the crashes are more comprehensive. For example, a rear-end collision with the analysis of the whiplash injury.
The Crash Recorder is not connected to the car – you need at least 15 minutes to install it and it is much cheaper than the conventional EDR. The result is that the market accepted the Crash Recorder. In Switzerland there are nearly 10.000 pieces installed.
