Future Video Accident Recorder

This paper examines the viability and use of video camera systems for accident investigation. While the examples used, and the details explored, are applied to commercial aircraft, the same logic reads across to all public transportation, where safety of passengers is paramount. Specific recent interest from ferry operators, inter-city rail operators, and school bus operators shows that future accident investigations will be heavily dependent on information gathered and recorded by video means.
