Although federal requirements standardize certain EDR data in covered vehicles, EDR capabilities and CDR support are not identical across the vehicle fleet. The data available, event records, supported control module, retrieval procedure, and required cables or adapters can vary by manufacturer, model, model year, and vehicle configuration. Correctly identifying the vehicle is therefore important for determining what data may be available and how it can be retrieved.
Many supported vehicles allow EDR data to be retrieved through the diagnostic link connector. If crash damage leaves the connector, vehicle network, or electrical system unusable, direct-to-module retrieval may be possible using vehicle-specific cables or adapters. The appropriate method depends on the vehicle, the module storing the event data, and the condition of the vehicle's electronic systems.
In supported vehicles, recorded pre-crash data may include vehicle-indicated speed, service-brake status, accelerator or throttle input, and other vehicle parameters. The exact data elements and recording intervals depend on the vehicle and EDR system. These values must be interpreted according to the definitions, timing, resolution, and limitations stated in the specific CDR report rather than treated as a complete record of everything that occurred.
Crash Data Retrieval focuses on acquiring and interpreting EDR information stored in the vehicle. Accident Reconstruction is broader and may combine roadway evidence, vehicle damage, measurements, photographs, calculations, witness information, and other evidence to examine how a crash occurred. CDR evidence can inform and supplement a reconstruction without replacing the broader reconstruction process.
