Many of these systems also recorded data during "near-deployment" events, i.e., impacts that are not severe enough to deploy the air bag(s). Since 1972, NHTSA has operated a Special Crash Investigations (SCI) program, which provides the agency with the flexibility to acquire detailed engineering information quickly on high visibility traffic crashes of special interest. This was the first time for VDRs to be included in a fleet test on drive-recorders. Vick, A., III 1956. The current EDR coverage chart can be seen below.

On three occasions, the NHTSA has published documents in theFederal Registeraddressing particular questions about its role with respect to EDRs. 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 within the vehicle.

The black box is formally known as an event data recorder (EDR), and today it's in 96 percent of new cars sold in the United States, according to industry estimates. EDRs are capable of capturing vehicle dynamics data, such as vehicle speed; lateral and longitudinal acceleration-time histories; principal direction of force on the vehicle; the status of braking, steering, seat belt usage, and air bag deployment; and other valuable crash information. These systems, which are designed and produced by individual motor vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers, are diverse in function, and proprietary in nature. 1995. UMTRI-50388. O`Neill, J. F. 1974. Methods of Measuring Variables Along a Highway. Generally, the T&B EDR WG found that EDR data should be collected when a substantial crash occurs, and thus advised that triggering the EDR should occur when the vehicles deceleration exceeded 2-4 g. In the process of developing the data elements, survivability, and event description findings, the T&B EDR WG felt the need for some research effort in certain areas. A listing of injuries and their severity for each driver is also included.
