Crash Data Retrieval (CDR)

Committed to Excellence

Crash Data Retrieval is a system which extracts pre-crash data from vehicles which experience an airbag deployment, or in many instances a non-deployment event.  The extracted data may support reconstruction methods including momentum and crush analysis.

​

Currently, almost every vehicle manufacturer 2012 to present is availalble for a CDR download.  However, many vehicles prior to 2012 as far back as 1994 are also available for download.

​

The extracted information could include:

• Change in Velocity (Delta V)

• Speeds prior to impact.

• Brake usage

• RPM

• Percentage of throttle

• Steering input

• Seatbelt usage

CDR data has met the Frye standard of admissibility in all 50 states.
