dents and injurie soccur. NOTE: EDR data are
recorde dbyyourv ehicl eonly if anon-trivial
cras hsituation occurs; no data is recorde dby
the EDR under normald riving conditions and no
personald ata(e.g. name ,gender, ag eand acci-
dent location) are recorded. However, othe rpar-

the specia lequipment, such as la wenforce-
ment, can rea dthe information by accessing the
vehicl eorthe EDR.
EDR data may be used in civi land crimina lmat-
ters as atool in accident reconstruction, acci-
dent claims and vehicl esafety .Since the Crash
Data Retrieval CDR tool that is used to extract
data from the EDR is commerciall yavailable,
