ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES

Outline

Event Data Recorders (EDR)


• Electronic system that captures and records electronic information related to an event during vehicle operation.

• Event – Point in time in which one or more threshold trigger criteria are met causing EDR to log such

• Trigger Criteria:

• Acceleration

• Last Stop

• Safety Restraint

• Roll Rate

• Fault

Event Data Recorders (EDR)


• Passenger Vehicles


• Powertrain Control

• Heavy Vehicle (Heavy-Duty Ground Wheeled

Vehicles > 10,000 pounds)

• Acceleration (Deceleration)

• Last Stop

• Faults

• ABS
