EDR "Blackbox" Scan Tool & PDF Accident Reports for Collision Investigators
FOR VEHICLE COLLISION ANALYSIS
The CrashScan App paired with the OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth adapter enables investigators to access critical vehicle computer modules, including the Event Data Recorder (EDR or "blackbox") where supported (see compatibility below). CrashScan provides professionals with tools to identify, extract, and analyze stored crash data. This information proves invaluable for validating insurance claims and establishing liability indicators in potential fraud cases.

DETAILED ACCIDENT ANALYSIS REPORTS
Successful CrashScan reports deliver comprehensive collision data, including:
- Impact severity classification: minor, moderate, or severe events
- Crash pulse characteristics and trigger thresholds
- Pre-impact vehicle dynamics (5-second capture window):
* Speed data
* Brake/accelerator application
* Steering inputs
- Occupant information:
* Seatbelt status
* Passenger count
- Damage assessment:
* Estimated repair costs
* Structural deformation probability
- Injury risk evaluation:
* Whiplash potential
* Expected injury duration
- Comparative reference data (g-force equivalents)
* Injury probability algorithms integrate recorded acceleration values with scientific research from sources like the National Automotive Sampling System (NASS)

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS (EDR DATA ACCESS)
Canada: No specific EDR legislation exists - data classified as diagnostic/non-private; insurers typically obtain consent voluntarily.
United States: The federal Driver Privacy Act of 2015 (effective December 2015) regulates EDR data access, establishing vehicle owner/lessee rights. Seventeen states have additional EDR privacy laws: Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington. These generally require owner consent for data retrieval with limited exceptions.
