Most planes, trains and automobiles come equipped with a “black box” device that captures important information before and after a crash. Our forensics engineering experts at ATA use advanced tools and methods to extract, analyze, and interpret this black box data. We are one of a few firms that consistently keep up with the myriad of system and equipment updates that are so prevalent in this industry.
Successfully recovering this information is crucial for accident reconstruction and other forensic investigations. Lawyers, insurance companies, and the police rely on this data to understand what happened leading up to a collision.
What Data Does a Vehicle Black Box Record?
The data collected from a vehicle’s black box provides valuable information for case evaluation and claims investigations. ATA’s forensics experts can retrieve information such as:
- How fast the vehicle was traveling in the seconds leading to impact.
- If the driver was actively accelerating or braking into a collision.
- How hard the driver braked, if at all, in reaction to the events around them.
- If the driver made any avoidance attempt to brake or steer before impact.
- If airbags were deployed as a result of the accident.
- If seat belts were in use at the time of the accident.
- How severe the impact was (delta-v).
