Abstract – Event data recorders (EDRs) were harvested and imaged after Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) 56 km/hr frontal and 64.4 km/hr frontal offset crashes of 15 different brands of 2016-2022 vehicles. The speed and delta-V in the EDR were compared to reference instrumentation. Speed data was accurate within the generally accepted range of +/-4%. The 40% overlap tests had generally similar vehicle kinematics, and their delta-Vx data was accurate. However, there was a much…
