The event data recorder (EDR) is a device fitted in vehicles. It stores key information about how the vehicle was working and its condition at critical moments: before, during and after an accident. Its main purpose is to provide objective data to analyse the causes of an accident, improve vehicle safety and help with legal and insurance investigations. This information is useful for car makers, traffic authorities, accident investigators and insurance companies. It helps them understand the circumstances of accidents and develop measures to prevent future ones.
