to enhance vehicle and highway safety
To the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) Project 1616 draft standard site. Project scope: Motor Vehicle Event Data Recorders (MVEDRs) collect, record, store and export data related to motor vehicle pre-defined events. This standard defines a protocol for MVEDR output data compatibility and export protocols of MVEDR data elements. This standard does not prescribe which specific data elements shall be recorded, but instead provides a data dictionary of data attributes. It is applicable to event data recorders for all types of motor vehicles licensed to operate on public roadways, whether offered as original or aftermarket equipment, whether stand-alone or integrated into the vehicle. Project purpose: Many light-duty motor vehicles, and increasing numbers of heavy commercial vehicles, are equipped with some form of MVEDR. These systems, which are designed and produced by individual motor vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers, are diverse in function, and proprietary in nature. The continuing implementation of MVEDR systems provides an opportunity to voluntarily standardize data output and retrieval protocols to facilitate analysis and promote compatibility of MVEDR data. Adoption of the standard will therefore make MVEDR data more accessible and useful to end users.
The five imperatives of P1616 are:
Worldwide Problem Millions of Injuries and Fatalities The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that motor vehicle crashes will be the 3rd major cause of injury and death by 2020. In the United States, motor vehicle injuries continue to be the leading cause of death for persons age 4 to 33 years old and account for 90% of all transportation related fatalities. In 2001, an estimated 42,000 people were killed and an estimated 3.2 million people were injured in over 6 million police-reported vehicle crashes. A motor vehicle crash occurs every 4 to 5 seconds. Research & Development Over the past decade the following organizations made tremendous contributions towards vehicle and highway safety by sponsoring and supporting research and development activities that established a solid foundation for further development. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) The National Academies / Transportation Research Board (TRB)
