|
Longitudinal Axis Delta-V Change |
|
The insured signed a “Release to Image Data” allowing data to be retrieved. As shown by the chart above, the vehicle was braking and had slowed from 30 MPH to 12 MPH just prior to the collision. Due to this information, it was determined that the vehicle was not stopped at the time of the collision but rather it was slowing. This information would not have been available without downloading it from the EDR. |
