The 2026 User’s SummitTM Presentations • The 2026 EDR User’s SummitTM is in the books and we know everyone’s eager to get their copies of the presentations and that’s what this special issue contains; you may download a copy of this 900+ page issue in PDF format and save it to your computer • It is, however, protected to protect the work of the authors. Please understand that slides with videos don’t work well in PDF and several authors wanted to protect their proprietary video work so videos have been removed • Now, we’ve start making plans for the 2027 EDR user’s Summit. At this point, we’re planning for late February 2027, returning to the Sheraton in Houston (we’re actively working with the hotel on dates for February 2027) March 23-25, 2026

CDR2 GUI


CDR – Past, Present & Future Present – CDR 900 coverage migration  The larger plan, announced since 2019 at the EDR User’s Summit, has been to migrate supported vehicle coverage from CANplus module to CDR 900 (is now completed)  One driving reason was associated with the CANplus end-of-life and to migrate systems the CDR 900 as the common CDR Tool interface going forward  Starting in 2024, version number strategy was changed to associate the release number to the current year of the release  The “MV.VN.RRR” format (Major Ver . minor Version Number . build Revision number)  i.e.: 25.3.1617 (current CDR Legacy version) or 25.3.1254 (current CDR2 version)

CDR – Past, Present & Future Present – CDR2 Settings  (Data) “Logging” is for troubleshooting, it’s not a keystroke tracker  “VIN check digit” forces the CDR2 software to confirm the North American VIN structure based on the check digit, disabling it means the end user might inadvertently enter the wrong VIN – where a user entered VIN might not match the actual VIN on the vehicle or retrieved from the ECU  “CDR Application” – deactivate or active the CDR2 application software license certificate  “Language” – select English, German, Chinese or French for the GUI not the output report

CDR – Past, Present & Future Present – CDR2 Settings  “Devices” – relates to the CDR 900 and CDR 500 for connectivity and firmware updates  Notably, the CANPlus is not listed here – the CANPlus is not supported in CDR2  The CDR 900 “Trash can” unregisters the device from the current computer

 “Units of measurement” – options are metric and Imperial and the selection is designed to affect the data translation report, does not change the underlying data units as recorded in the module in the car and may not change the OEM display formatting choices  49CFR563 still calls for units, where applicable, to be reported in metric

CDR – Past, Present & Future Present - CDR 900 firmware updates  If the CDR 900 firmware is not updated to the version of CDR2, the CDR2 software will display a popup dialog box indicating the CDR 900 firmware version is wrong and needs to be updated  There is no separate pop-up in the Legacy interface indicating the firmware in CDR 900 is incorrect  If the end user tires to “roll back” the CDR2 software (with a reinstallation of an older version the software) and the CDR 900 had been previously updated, that will also cause a “wrong firmware” error

39

CDR – Past, Present & Future Present - CDR 900 firmware updates  In the CDR Legacy software there is the “Connection Help” pulldown icon

 In CDR2, that utility is now in both the sidebar menu at “Additional” and in the Settings menu  The option to test the CDR 500 is there as well  But, not CANPlus… 40

(because…?)

CDR – Past, Present & Future Present - another note about the CDR 900  The CDR 900 is recognized in Windows as a network device (as seen here in Device Manager)  Notice that there are no COM ports in this device list, CDR 900 does not rely on a COM port selection or the USB to Serial (RS232) adapter

41

CDR – Past, Present & Future Present – another note about the CDR 900  CDR 900 is recognized as a network device in Windows  Where the CDR Tool software fails to communicate with the CDR 900 one of the more common reasons is that the laptop is connected to another network or the “IT guys” have restricted the laptop’s access to other networks or otherwise “unknown” networks  Your CDR 900 must be installed as separate network device for CDR software to see the device and connect to it

CDR – Past, Present & Future Present - Vehicle/module coverage plan When CDR2 migration is complete, you will use one CDR software (CDR2) for vehicle lookup, information, coverage, etc. The only reason to use the Legacy CDR software will be to open an old CDR/CDRx file and download via CANplus supported vehicles  Opening an old CDR file will be prompted by windows when a file is double clicked

The CDR2 application will inform users if CANplus and Legacy CDR software is needed

CDR – Past, Present & Future Present - Vehicle/module coverage lookup  The help file will provide “unmigrated” supported vehicles and information but for vehicles that are called out in the CDR2 application, it will direct users to the CDR2 software via a link  Because CDR2 has the look up information in the app, that does not mean you need to use CDR2, there still maybe an addition step to return the Legacy CDR software… so, don’t close the Legacy software Legacy CDR Software help file, listing Chevrolet vehicles

TROUBLESHOOTING


CDR – Past, Present & Future Troubleshooting – element names  Not all data element names or acronyms are found in the Data Limitations text for all OEMs  One should always check the Help File Glossary for data element names which may not be defined in the Data Limitations text

 Another potential resource is the current version of SAE Recommended Practice J1698-1 “Event Data Recorder - Output Data Definition”  “… 1. SCOPE ‒ This Recommended Practice provides common data output formats and definitions for a variety of data elements that may be useful for analyzing vehicle crash and crash-like events that meet specified trigger criteria. The document is intended to govern data element definitions, to provide a minimum data element set, and to specify EDR record format as applicable for light-duty motor vehicle Original Equipment applications. …”

 The Help File Glossary has not currently been moved to or updated in the CDR2 application

CDR – Past, Present & Future Troubleshooting – BMW “Unknown EDID” solution  One might find “Events Recovered = Invalid, Unknown EDID” in data from one of the multiple BMW Advanced Crash Safety Module variants currently supported (ACSM – the BMW designation for the ACM)  The “Unknown EDID” is associated with a use case where the original ACSM programming done by BMW might be updated (reflashed) later at a BMW dealer making whatever data set was or could have been there no longer translatable

 As it relates to retrieving data using the CDR Tool, there may be recorded events but with relatively older ACSM programming, they may not be translated in the CDR application  Working with BMW, Bosch has made software updates where data from some of these modules can now be retrieved and translated into a data translation report

 Potential Solution: If the end user has an older raw data file with the BMW “Unknown EDID” error, data may be accessible with a second (newer) data retrieval 82

“The results of this study demonstrate that the Crash Pulse Technologies CDX VCI provides accurate, consistent, and repeatable crash data retrieval across DLC, DTM, and fuse box back-powering methodologies. Across all 30 test scenarios and 27 repeatability tests, crash data imaged using the CDX matched the output produced by the discontinued CANplus VCI, with differences limited to expected non-critical fields such as timestamps or user entered comments. Testing further confirmed full compatibility with existing Bosch DTM cables and adapters, as well as reliable performance when using replacement adapters and cables designed for legacy CANplus communication. These findings indicate that the CDX VCI is a functionally equivalent and technically reliable option for platforms that continue to require CANplus-based communication in connection with the Bosch CDR translation software. The demonstrated consistency of outputs aligns with Daubert expectations for accuracy and repeatability in forensic data acquisition. This study validates legacy compatibility. Future protocols, if introduced, would require separate assessment. Conclusions presented here are solely those of the author and are not affiliated with or endorsed by Bosch, Vetronix, the NTSB, or any federal government agency.”

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 231


March 23-26, 2026

CAN Fundamentals Capturing Vehicle bus Information in real time CAN Bus Fundamentals, Access, and Sample Rates

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 232


CAN: Definitions • CAN stands for Controller Area Network. • Like a LAN for computers — sensors and modules share a single two-wire bus instead of individual point-to-point wires.

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 233


Diagnostic CAN • Request-reply protocol used for emissions testing and OEM scan tools. • Limitations:

• Limited bandwidth and response time • Generally focused on engine data • Steering angle, wheel speeds, brake pressure may not be available

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 234


High-Speed CAN • Module-level data broadcast onto the CAN bus constantly — no request needed. • Typically 20 to 100 Hz data rate • Used for testing - the data logger reads signals as fast as the vehicle's own systems.

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 235


CAN Bus Properties • CAN bus uses a two-wire twisted pair: CAN High and CAN Low. • Voltage levels:

• CAN High: between 2.5V and 3.75V • CAN Low: between 2.5V and 1.25V

• Differential signalling makes CAN resilient to noise and safe to tap.

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 236


CAN Bus Baud Rate • All nodes on a CAN Bus must run at the same baud rate or the bus will crash. • Standard CAN:

• Most common baud rate: 500 kbit

• CAN FD (Flexible Data-Rate):

• Newer protocol with higher data rates • All nodes must be CAN FD compliant • Common rates: 500 kbit bus / 2 Mbit data packets

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 237


CAN Bus IDs • Each message on a CAN bus has an ID.

• Lower ID = higher priority (safety-critical signals)

• Message sizes:

• Standard CAN: up to 8 bytes (64 bits) • CAN FD: up to 64 bytes (512 bits) • One message carries several signals.

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 238


CAN Data Format • Signals on a CAN bus can be:

• Single bit: on/off (e.g. brake light, blind spot warning) • Few bits: e.g. 2-bit turn signal (off, left, right, both) • Larger values: steering angle, accelerator position, engine speed

• Analog values are encoded as integers and can be scaled and offset.

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 239


Interpreting CAN Data • There is no legal or industry requirement to publish CAN bus data or specify its formatting. • Some standardization exists:

• Commercial trucks: J1939 standard - easier to interpret

• Publicly available CAN data exists for many vehicles from enthusiast communities and vehicle software projects. • Racelogic CAN Database

• Free library of decoded CAN signals for VBOX users — from reverse engineering and public sources.

How to Access CAN Capturing Vehicle bus Information in real time CAN Bus Fundamentals, Access, and Sample Rates

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 241


Where to Access the CAN Bus • OBD Port • Best success on American and Asian vehicles (~2004-2018).

• Limitations:

• Not used by BMW or VW/Audi/Porsche • Not available in many vehicles from 2018+ due to security requirements

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 242


Where to Access the CAN Bus • Twisted Pairs • Even with no OBD data, almost all modern vehicles use CAN bus accessible by tapping directly into vehicle wiring. • To find wiring:

• Start where lots of vehicle wiring comes together • Try the base of the A-pillar on the passenger side

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 243


Where to Access the CAN Bus • Look for twisted pairs of wires in the vehicle wiring harness. • Access areas where wiring is easy to reach, such as near the fuse box or A-pillar.

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 244


Identifying CAN Wires • Safety first! Do not tap into heavy-gauge wires. • Refer to a vehicle wiring diagram for wire colors and CAN bus names. • Example:

• High-Speed CAN 1 on a blue/white twisted pair - this is the first pair to look for.

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 245


Tools: Vehicle Spy • Vehicle Spy 3 by Intrepid Control Systems • A powerful, cost-effective tool for scanning, decoding, and logging data from CAN bus to a computer. • Bundle includes:

• 2-channel CAN interface • Software - all most users will need March 23-25, 2026

Slide 246


Tools: Pomona Probes • Pomona Insulation Piercing Clip Set • Quickly probe twisted pairs to find vehicle CAN buses. Banana connector connects to CAN interface.

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 247


Tools: Posi-Tap Connectors • Posi-Tap - No Crimp Tap (20-gauge) • Screw-in needle pierces insulation to make contact — no crimping or cutting. • Route CAN data to your logger via wire connected to the tap back. • When removed, leaves only a tiny hole in the insulation.

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 248


Notes of Caution • Avoid transmitting data onto a vehicle CAN bus.

• Risks:

• Connecting a device at a different baud rate causes communication errors • Adding extra traffic can 'confuse' vehicle systems • Disconnecting CAN wiring within the vehicle can cause onboard systems to fail

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 249


March 23-26, 2026

CAN Sample Rates Capturing Vehicle bus Information in real time CAN Bus Fundamentals, Access, and Sample Rates

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 250


Sample Rates • How often do you need to know?

• CAN bus bandwidth is not free — OEM engineers choose what to transmit and how often

• Time-critical signals

• Driver inputs (steering) • Vehicle movement (yaw rate)

• Update slowly:

• Temperatures • Window/door positions March 23-25, 2026

Slide 255


Sample Rates: How “stale” is this data? • When viewing a snapshot of CAN data from a log, sample rate must be considered for each channel.

Time

CAN ID

• Raw CAN logs use microsecond timing accuracy

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 256


CAN Data Summary • Fundamentals

• Two-wire shared network; differential signalling; ID-based priority; no publishing requirement

• Access

• OBD port (~2004-2018) or tap twisted pairs; use Posi-Tap for clean semi-permanent connections

• Sample Rates

• Each signal has its own rate; raw CAN logs use microsecond timing; always consider staleness

• Key reminders:

• Try related vehicle data first | Log everything once connected | Don’t probe the orange wires!

Slide 417


Data Analysis – TTC @ FCW • Data was analyzed by first combining the video from the VBOX HD2 video and the 100 Hz data from the VBOX 3i data acquisition system.

• Using the Video Sync channel in File Processor, the 3i .VBO file was merged with the HD2 video file.

• The forward collision warning was presented on the display screen as a flashing “Pre-Collision Assist” message on the instrument cluster. • The point at which the FCW CAN signal changed from ‘0’ to ‘1’ was used to record the data for the FCW. • Adobe Premier was used to determine the timing between the visual and audio FCW signal and then that timing was used to mark the audio FCW in the data. • Parameters such as the speed of the Ford, the distance from the front bumper of the Ford to the rear bumper of the box truck, the TTC to the box truck, and the lateral offset from the centerline of the Ford to the centerline of the box truck were documented and recorded in a spreadsheet. March 23-25, 2026

Slide 418


Data Analysis – TTC @ AEB • Initiation of AEB was recorded when the AEB CAN signal changed from ‘0’ to ‘1’. • Parameters such as the speed of the Ford, the distance from the front bumper of the Ford to the rear bumper of the box truck, the TTC to the box truck, and the lateral offset from the centerline of the Ford to the centerline of the box truck were documented. • The braking due to the AEB was characterized by recording the average longitudinal deceleration, the peak deceleration, the duration of the braking response, and the speed lost during the braking response.

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 419


Data Analysis – TTC @ Swerve

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 420


Data Analysis – TTC @ Swerve • The point at which the steering angle increased to 10 degrees was used to record the data for the beginning of the evasive swerve maneuver. • A second methodology that analyzed the effect of the test driver beginning to anticipate the swerve, and focused on the steering wheel angle velocity (i.e. steering slope) instead, was analyzed and is labeled as ‘Velo’ in the data.

GM “last sample” timing • GM systems that report Pre-Crash data captured at 1s intervals report the last sample as “-1s” and we find in the Data Limitations:

• “…The 1.0 second Pre-crash data value (most recent recorded data point) is the data • point last sampled before AE. That is to say, the last data point may have been captured just before AE but no more than 1.0 second before AE. All subsequent Precrash data values are referenced from this data point. …” - 01029_SDMGT-2001 (emphasis added)

Pre-Crash data from most other OEMs • Most other OEMs Pre-Crash data timing is comparable to the “-0.5 to -5.0s” GM type system(s) except for the time series numbering • Most of the other OEMs identify the last sample before T0 as “0.0 (sec)” because:

- 49CFR563 - Event Data Recorders

• BUT there are exceptions including a newer GM system and most don’t identify the time between the last sample an T0, however, some do… March 23-25, 2026

(some) German OEMs “last sample timing” detail • “… Pre-Crash Data:

• - Pre-Crash Data is recorded at 2 samples per second starting 5 seconds before t0. … • - Recorded Pre-Crash Data have a time resolution of 500ms. This can cause a possible delay of the collected data up to 500ms. …” - 0803_BMW_ACSM4i

• “…The data element "Time from Last Speed Data Sample (Precrash) to Time Zero“ indicates the time delay between the most recent pre-crash data sample and Time - 13001_VWG1000CO Zero (0 to 500ms). …” • “…The data element "Time from Last Speed Data Sample (Precrash) to Time Zero“ indicates the time delay between the most recent pre-crash data sample and Time Zero (0 to 500ms). The reported time in this element has to be subtrated from - (sic) 14002_VWG2100CO (emphasis added) 500ms in order to obtain the correct time. …”

The Honda “0.0” sample • “… The sampling point at 0.0 is taken at T0 and is asynchronous with the other sample points. Time between -0.5 and Time zero is given and is between 1 and 500ms. …”

- (emphasis added)

• How can a sample be taken “at” T0?

• Wouldn’t the module (a) have to know when T0 was going to occur ahead of time and (b) which conditions would be met in that crash at T0 to be able to capture that snapshot of data at T0?

• So, in reality, wouldn’t there necessarily be a programming delay that reads something like… 1. 2. 3.

detect crash begin algorithm to protect the occupants (“Time Zero”) capture one more frame of external data (and we’ll call it the 0.0 sample) • But the capture is really after T0 at that point

Slide 520


Honda “Pre-Crash” timing • If the “-0.5s” sample was taken closer to 500ms before T0 • Then the ACM set T0 after a relative longer time (i.e.: an underride) • Then another capture of “Pre-Crash” data was taken after T0 • For a time & distance analysis, can we use the 0.0 data set as “Pre-Crash”?

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 521


Honda “Pre-Crash” timing • Even if the “0.0” sample is captured before T0 (using the GM SDM50 or Toyota systems for comparison) wouldn’t that “0.0” sample be within the period between the “-0.5s” sample and T0?

• So, would we use it “again” in, for example, a pre-crash time and distance analysis?

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 561


What is a Daubert Challenge? • A Daubert challenge is a legal motion or objection raised in court to exclude the testimony of an expert witness on the grounds that it is not reliable or relevant. The challenge requires the party presenting the expert to prove that the expert's methodology and opinions are scientifically sound and applicable to the specific case under the standards set by the U.S. Supreme Court in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 562


Texas Rules of Evidence 702 • Rule 702. Testimony by Expert Witnesses • A witness who is qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education may testify in the form of an opinion or otherwise if the expert’s scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge will help the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue.

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 563


Daubert Factors: • Testing: Whether the expert's theory or technique can be, and has been, tested. • Peer Review and Publication: Whether the theory or technique has been subjected to peer review and publication. • Known or Potential Rate of Error: The existence of a known or potential rate of error for the methodology. • Standards and Controls: The existence and maintenance of standards and controls governing the technique's operation. • General Acceptance: Whether the theory or methodology is generally accepted within the relevant scientific or professional community. March 23-25, 2026

Slide 564


Defending the Daubert Challenge: • To survive a Daubert challenge, an expert witness must demonstrate that their testimony is both reliable and relevant to the facts of the case, using the same intellectual rigor as in their professional field. • Expect questions from Opposing Counsel, Hiring attorney and possibly the judge.

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 565


Where does EDR data come into play?: • EDR data can strengthen the argument regarding reliability; thus helping the expert survive a Daubert challenge • Ask if either vehicle has EDR Data • Ask to Inspect the vehicles involved in the MVA

• Attorney can seek to compel production of subject vehicles

Recent Clips •Purpose: Stores the most recent, continuous dashcam recordings while driving. • Behavior: It holds up to 60 minutes of footage (usually broken into 1-minute files). • Management: Once the 60-minute limit is reached, the oldest files are overwritten by newer ones automatically. March 23-25, 2026

Slide 583

583


SavedClips • Purpose: Stores videos that you have manually saved by tapping the dashcam icon on the touchscreen, pressing the horn, or using voice commands. • Behavior: Files in this folder are not automatically overwritten. • Content: Contains 10-minute snippets (representing the 10 minutes prior to saving) separated into 1-minute segments for each camera.

Supplemental Enhancement Information (SEI) Preservation & Analysis of Tesla in-car Video

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 591

591


What Data Is Included

• Tesla's SEI metadata typically includes information such as • Timestamp data – Precise date/time for each frame • GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude) • Vehicle state information (gear, turn signals, braking, etc.) • Camera identifier (front, rear, left repeater, right repeater) • Compass Heading/ Direction of Travel March 23-25, 2026

Slide 592

592


How it Works

• Accepts a Tesla dashcam video file — usually .mp4 files from the USB drive or SSD used for TeslaCam •Parses the H.264/H.265 NAL units — specifically extracting SEI payloads •Displays the embedded metadata in a humanreadable format (CSV), allowing users to explore frame-by-frame information March 23-25, 2026

Slide 593

593


Why Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) Units Exist

• Raw video is enormous. A single uncompressed 1080p frame at 30 frames per second (fps) generates ~1.5 Gbps of data. Compression solves this, but the compressed data needs to be: • Organized into logical pieces • Transportable across different networks and storage media • Self-describing so decoders know what each piece contains • Network Abstract Layer (NAL) units provide this structure. March 23-25, 2026

Slide 594

594


H.264/H.265 NAL Units Explained • The Basics •NAL stands for Network Abstraction Layer. NAL units are the fundamental building blocks/packet structure that make up an H.264 (AVC) or H.265 (HEVC) video stream. •Think of them as individually packaged chunks of data that together form a complete video. March 23-25, 2026

Slide 595

595


H.264/H.265 Standard •H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC) are dominant video compression standards that reduce file sizes while maintaining quality, with H.265 offering roughly 50% better compression than H.264. H.264 is the widely compatible industry standard for streaming and web, while H.265 is superior for 4K/8K, surveillance, and storage efficiency. March 23-25, 2026

Slide 596


Relevance to Tesla Dashcam SEI Explorer

•The SEI Explorer specifically: •Reads the Tesla dashcam .mp4 file •Parses through the NAL units in the video stream •Filters for NAL units of type SEI •Decodes Tesla's custom SEI payloads containing vehicle data, Frame by Frame March 23-25, 2026

Fail to automatically enter the VIN • Occasionally, despite communication with the Engine Management System (EMS), the GIT Software will not automatically populate the VIN. Observed, primarily, on new model year vehicles. Requires manually entry of the VIN during DLC imaging sessions.

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 722


Incorrect make/model selection • As of March 2026, when communicating with a 2025 or 2026 Genesis GV80, the GIT software selects the same model year Hyundai Kona.

Could result in incomplete data collection!

Evidence of Truncation for CAN Longitudinal Acceleration Rate

2025 Kia Sorento Test 7

The recorded data from the ABS/ESC module truncates in the same way as the EDR readout.

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 764


Other data that truncates (steering) • Set steering wheel angle to 27 degrees and triggered an event • Set steering wheel angle to 29 degrees and triggered an event Zenith Z5

EDR Readout

Results: • In both cases, Steering rounded down to 25 degrees

Conclusion: • Hyundai, Kia & Genesis Vehicles will truncate, not round to the closest multiple of 5

Pre-crash Lateral Acceleration Rate

• The Lateral Acceleration rate recorded via the ABS/ESC module does NOT truncate. • Reporting resolution is 0.01g (not 0.1g). • Cannot use for specific EDR validation. • However, CAN Acceleration may be compared to VBOX Lateral Acceleration to emphasize the effect of low resolution and truncation (instead of rounding).

BMW Conclusions • It is possible to have an AEB event without an event recording in the EDR • Every new AEB event becomes record 1 (most recent event) and each record is pushed down after an additional event. The oldest record will drop off after 6 more events. • In order for an ignition cycle to register, the key fob needs to leave the vehicle. • From our testing, EDR accurately records the AEB events.

What is the “common denominator?”

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 850


What is the “common denominator?” The common denominator, the underlying error, is: looking at a graph without taking into account (a) the resolution or scale of the graph, (b) the underlying purpose of the graphed data, (c) what the data is designed to represent and why and (d) adopting an arbitrary “end” while ignoring other available data elements

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 851


What is the basis for this statement? • … the end user of data displayed (reported) to comply with 49CFR563 to make “adjustments” to the reported data?

• “Always review the Delta V graph to make sure the end of event choice for the single value was rationale.” (sic)

• Or put it another way, can we just use the graphical representation of the data to almost arbitrarily make adjustments to the reported delta-V data when the OEM reporting for delta-V is …

• (1) interpretatively compliant with 49CFR563, • (2) that adjustment doesn’t account for the totality of the remaining available data, • (3) and the proposed adjustment discounts the stated/OEM definitions?

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 852


49CFR563 • Terms and definitions for the data elements for this discussion are mainly from 49CFR563 because that would relate to the data translation report • We may know how we would handle and report data if we were collecting it ourselves from, for example, a crash test we might do it differently • We’d define the crash pulse based on acceleration not averaged delta-V

• This discussion is about how the data related to delta-V is represented in EDR data translation reports and how it might be (is being) misinterpreted and then misapplied March 23-25, 2026

Conventions and communication • Any meaningful conversation should be bound by some sort of common understanding • A common language • Adopted common conventions, words, and terms • Scope – here data from vehicles where 49CFR563 would apply

• We can then focus the disagreement or debate to application/misapplication • As it relates to EDR technology, there are or should be a common “language”

Slide 856


Should be… • As it relates to EDR technology, there are or should be a common “language”… • The problem is, as anyone that works with EDR data knows, it seems like no two OEMs use the same words, terms, or conventions the same way • Algorithm enable • Wakeup • Algorithm wakeup… • Algo start • “Time Zero” • Trigger threshold

Slide 857


Should be… • 49CFR563 is often subject to “interpretative compliance” • Where we start to see commonality fail between how we might examine data from, for example, a crash test versus how the OEMs might report it in a EDR data translation report for compliance • Where the OEMs are often left to establish words, terms, and conventions for data reporting those may not easily fit into another context or application

Delta-V (ΔV) • The delta-V – the “area under the curve” • To define the “curve” (waveshape/waveform) we need to find the bounds of the data that makes up that “curve” • Where the crash pulse starts • Where the crash pulse ends

The second triaxial accelerometer shall be on the vertical centerline passing through the vehicle’s longitudinal crash sensor, either on the outer cover of the module containing the vehicle crash sensor or a nearby rigid structure. The accelerometer axes should be aligned with the vehicles primary axes within +/- 2 degrees. …” (emphasis added)

TP-563-00 “14.2 – POST CRASH DATA ANALYSIS” • “… a. Save the collected accelerometer and restraint system deployment data in unfiltered form. Default system filtering shall be set to 4 kHz or higher. • b. Filter x-axis accelerometer data to SAE J211 Class 180 and plot versus time. • c. Add error corridor of +/- TBD g’s for entire data set.

Compare recorded acceleration and delta-v against the manufacturer supplied full scale range of sensor(s). • f. Truncate longitudinal acceleration at the time where the sensor full scale range is exceeded in the raw laboratory data or the time recorded by the EDR for clipping of the longitudinal signal. Use the shortest time for the truncation • g. Integrate the accelerometer data to obtain velocity data and plot versus time. • h. Apply an error corridor of +/- 10 km/hr to the entire data set. • i. Plot the EDR reported longitudinal acceleration and/or delta-v on the respective plots. • j. Align the EDR data time with the Laboratory data time using the time of the first air bag stage deployment as the alignment mark based on the firing current recorded for the air bags. …” (emphasis added) March 23-25, 2026

The compliant display for 49CFR563 is then… • Reported as the up to 250ms of “Delta-V, longitudinal” and the single point “Maximum delta-V, longitudinal” data elements • These are not the same, one is reported as blocks of averaged delta-V displayed in 10ms intervals (for up to ~250ms) • The other is the maximum value – as established by the OEM – to a single point (up to ~300ms)

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 900


The TP vs the data translation report • The TP analysis of delta-V is initially tied to the accelerometer data and deployment timing • The data translation report is designed for compliance assessment and is tied to the defined Time Zero and End of Event Time • Some, but not all data translation reports include accelerometer data and the displayed resolution is at different time resolution than the accelerometer data as captured and then analyzed in the ACM • Even before the post processing in the CDR Tool software March 23-25, 2026

March 23-25, 2026

Slide 907


Conclusions • The original, raw data is captured, then, in post-processing, the data translation reports are developed to convey that information primarily to comply with the reporting requirements of 49CFR563 • Reporting requirements drive the display in a data translation report not the way you or I might want to see the data generated/reported/displayed after, for exmaple, a crash test • The data translation report isn’t for the end user as much as it is for NHTSA and the OEMs March 23-25, 2026

Slide 908


Conclusions • The maximum resultant isn’t frequently reported and, when it is, may be reported in “oddly” calculated values in km/h2 • Reporting that element may still “need some work”

• There are normally multiple data elements in a data translation report associated with delta-V that may influence the way it is displayed with respect to time or the magnitude of the delta-V • Relying on an interpretation of a graph and chart to the exclusion of the underlying tabular or specific data can quickly lead to faulty conclusions March 23-25, 2026
