The intention of this Regulation is to establish uniform provisions concerning the approval of motor vehicles of the Categories M1 and N1 with regard to their Event Data Recorders (EDRs). 0.2. The provisions concern the minimum collection, storage and crash survivability of motor vehicle crash event data. It does not include specifications for data retrieval tools and methods as that is subject to national/regional level requirement. 0.3. The purpose of these provisions is to ensure that EDRs record, in a readily usable manner, data valuable for effective crash investigations and for analysis of safety equipment performance (e.g., advanced restraint systems). These data will help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur and will facilitate the development of safer vehicle designs. 1. SCOPE 1.1. This Regulation applies to the approval of vehicles of categories M1 and N1(1)with regard to their Event Data Recorder (EDR). 1.2. This Regulation is without prejudice to requirements of national or regional laws related to privacy, data protection and personal data processing. 1.3. The following data elements are excluded from the scope: VIN, associated vehicle details, location/positioning data, information of the driver, and date and time of an event. 1.4. If there is no system or sensor designed to provide the data element to be recorded and stored under Section 3, in the format (range, resolution, and sample rate) indicated in Annex 4. ‘DATA ELEMENTS’ or it is not operational at the time of recording, this document requires neither recording of such data nor fitting or making such systems or sensors operational. However, if the vehicle is fitted with an original equipment manufacturer sensor or system designed to provide the data element in the format specified in Annex 4. ‘DATA ELEMENTS’, then it is mandatory to report the data element in the specified format when the sensor or system is operational. In the case the reason for not being operational at the time of recording is a failure of this system or sensor, this failure state shall be recorded by the EDR as defined in the data elements Annex 4. Data elements. 2.

(2) Pre-crash data and crash data are asynchronous. The sample time accuracy requirement for pre-crash time is -0,1 to 1,0 sec (e.g., T = -1 would need to occur between -1,1 and 0 seconds.) (3) Accuracy requirement only applies within the range of the physical sensor. If measurements captured by a sensor exceed the design range of the sensor, the reported element shall indicate when the measurement first exceeded the design range of the sensor. (4) ‘Planar’includes triggered events in Sections 5.3.1.1, 5.3.1.2, and 5.3.1.3 and ‘VRU’includes triggered events in Section 5.3.1.4. (5) The ignition cycle at the time of download is not required to be recorded at the time of the crash but shall be reported during the download process. (6) The air bag warning lamp is the readiness indicator specified in national air bag requirements and may also illuminate to indicate a malfunction in another part of the deployable restraint system. (7) ‘If recorded’means if the data is recorded in non-volatile memory for the purpose of subsequent downloading. (8) May be recorded in any time duration; -1,0 to 5,0 sec is suggested. (9) These elements do not need to meet the accuracy and resolution requirements in specified crash tests. (10)Manufacturers can include other system states. (11)List this element n – 1 times, once for each stage of a multi-stage air bag system.
