Analysis of Event Data Recorder Delta-V Reporting in the IIHS Small Overlap Crash Test

This article discusses how many studies have been conducted on the performance and accuracy of Event Data Recorders (IEDRs) in instrumented crash tests in the past and most of these tests have been focused on full frontal and perpendicular side impacts. The objective of this article is to shift the focus from full front barrier crash tests to small overlap crash tests that were done by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The article shows the effect on how this type of collision might have on the crash severity data recorded by the EDR in late vehicle models. Approximately 25% of the frontal crashes reviewed in the National Automotive Sampling System (NASS) study were small overlap crashes.
