The Directorate General for Mobility and Transport has commissioned a study on the use of Event Data Recorders (EDR). In the context of this study, EDRs are understood as devices which continuously register and store the values taken by a series of vehicle parameters so that a sequence of those records covering some seconds before, during and after a crash can be recovered.
