Today’s vehicles have new features that help to reduce the number of crashes due to driver loss of control, minimize injuries to occupants, monitor safety system readiness and performance, and record crash data.

Electronic driver aids help prevent driver loss of control.

Active and passive safety systems are designed to reduce injury to occupants as a result of a crash.

Diagnostic trouble codes are stored on board the vehicle. The data can be downloaded to determine readiness and functionality of various safety related components and systems before and during a crash.

Crash Data Recorders record vehicle operating parameters for several seconds before impact.  The data streams can be retrieved and used to aid in accident reconstruction analyses.
