  1. Highway Vehicle Event Data Recorders Christopher C. Voeglie

  2. Accident Bus • Not equipped, nor required to be equipped, with an event data recorder (EDR) • No regulatory or industry standards that require highway vehicles to be equipped with an EDR

  3. Event Data • Reduce use of estimated values • Provide a higher level of science and precision • Result in more robust reconstruction and analysis

  4. Event Data Recorders • Lack of requirements, result in unrealized data opportunities • Provide more comprehensive account of events that led to loss of control • Provide qualitative and quantitative data to improve bus passenger safety

  5. Recommendation History • Since 1997, issued or reiterated EDR recommendations 7 times • 1999 H-99-53/54 “Develop and implement” • 2008 – Reiterated H-99-53/54 • 2009 – Reiterated & reclassified “Open – Unacceptable Response”

  6. EDR Activity Since H-99-53/54 • 2002 NHTSA T&B EDR WG “..potential to greatly improve truck, motorcoach and school bus safety” • 2004 IEEE MVEDR • 2004 FHWA EDR requirements and specifications for CMVs • 2010 SAE RP for HVEDRs

  7. NHTSA Activities • Since 1999, NHTSA has failed to initiate rulemaking in regard to EDRs on buses • Aug 2007, NHTSA’s Approach to Motorcoach Safety, “Planned Approach” was to wait on the SAE HVEDR WG

  8. Applicability • H-99-53/54 school buses and motorcoaches • SAE HVEDR vehicles >10,000 lbs with specific communications • Many publications, research projects are applicable to buses • NHTSA – capable of developing rulemaking for all buses

  9. Summary • EDRs increase understanding of crash causation and further development of crashworthiness and occupant protection system • Require EDRs in all buses over 10,000 lbs
