Recording data As part of Volvo's safety and quality assurance, certain information about the vehicle's operation,functionality and incidents are recorded in thecar.
This vehicle is equipped with an "Event Data Recorder" (EDR). Its primary purpose is to regis-ter and record data related to traffic accidents orcollision-like situations, such as times when theairbag deploys or the vehicle strikes an obstaclein the road. The data is recorded in order toincrease understanding of how vehicle systemswork in these types of situations. The EDR isdesigned to record data related to vehicledynamics and safety systems for a short time,usually 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record data related to the following in the event of trafficaccidents or collision-like situations: •How the various systems in the car worked
• Whether the driver and passenger seatbelts were fastened/tensioned
• The driver's use of the accelerator or brakepedal
• The travel speed of the vehicle
This information can help us better understandthe circumstances in which traffic accidents, inju-ries and damage occur. The EDR only recordsdata when a non-trivial collision situation occurs.The EDR does not record any data during normal driving conditions. Similarly, the system neverregisters who is driving the vehicle or the geo-graphic location of the accident or near-miss sit-uation. However, other parties, such as the police,could use the recorded data in combination withthe type of personally identifiable informationroutinely collected after a traffic accident. Specialequipment and access to either the vehicle or theEDR is required to be able to interpret the regis-tered data. In addition to the EDR, the car is equipped with a number of computers designed to continuallycheck and monitor the function of the car. Theycan record data during normal driving conditions,but in particular register faults affecting the vehi-cle's operation and functionality, or upon activa-tion of the vehicle's driver support function (e.g.City Safety and the auto brake function). Some of the recorded data is required to enable service and maintenance technicians to diagnoseand remedy any faults that occurred in the vehi-cle. The registered information is also needed toenable Volvo to satisfy legal requirements laid outin laws and by government authorities. Informa-tion registered in the vehicle is stored in its com-puter until the vehicle is serviced or repaired. In addition to the above, the registered informa- tion can be used in aggregate form for researchand product development with the aim of contin-uously improving the safety and quality of Volvocars.
Volvo will not contribute to the above-describedinformation being disclosed to third parties with-out the vehicle owner's consent. To comply withnational legislation and regulations, Volvo may beforced to disclose information of this nature tothe police or other authorities who may assert alegal right to access such. Special technicalequipment which Volvo and workshops that haveentered into agreements with Volvo have accessto is required to be able to read and interpret therecorded data. Volvo is responsible that the infor-mation, which is transferred to Volvo during serv-icing and maintenance, is securely stored andmanaged and that its management complies withrelevant legal requirements. For further informa-tion - contact a Volvo dealer.
