Two types of drive-recorders were developed for recording data on automobile accidents and near misses. The first type was an accident drive-recorder (ADR) to record accident data only. The other type was a near miss and accident drive-recorder (NADR) to record both accident and near miss data. The ADR and NADR were each equipped with a CCD camera to obtain visual data on accidents and near misses from the driver's view. The recordable data items of the ADR and NADR included acceleration, angular velocity, video image, accident avoiding behavior and global position. In this paper, the authors introduce the design concepts, specifications and data recording methods of the drive-recorders, and report the results of their validation tests. ADR and NADR should provide more accurate data on accidents and near misses to assist in revising the safety regulations, improving the injury criteria and crash test procedures, and in developing new dummies.
