1.Overview
11 Scope
MVEDRs collect, record, store, and export data related to motor vehicle predefined events. This standarddefines a protocol for MVEDR output data compatibility and export protocols of MVEDR data elements.This standard does not prescribe which specific data elements shall be recorded. but instead provides a datadictionary of data attributes. lt is applicable to event data recorders for all types of motor vehicles licensed tooperate on public roadways, whether offered as original or aftermarket equipment, whether stand-alone orintegrated into the vehicle.
1.2 Purpose
Many light-duty motor vehicles, and increasing numbers of heavy commercial vehicles, are equipped withsome form of MVEDR. These systems, which are designed and produced by individual motor vehiclemanufacturers and component suppliers, are diverse in function and proprietary in nature. The continuingimplementation of MVEDR systems provides an opportunity to voluntarily standardize data output andretrieval protocols to facilitate analysis and promote compatibility of MVEDR data. Adoption of thestandard will therefore make MVEDR data more accessible and useful to end users.
1.3 Data privacy and security recommendations
Privacy is a central element of consumer protection, In recent years, advances in technology have made itpossible for detailed information about individuals to be compiled and shared. This has produced manybenefits for society as a whole and individual consumers. At the same time, as personal informationbecomes more accessible, precautions must be taken to protect against the misuse of informmation.
MVEDR data aggregated across many events has significant scientific value. Occasional errors in datarecording, communication, or retrieval will undoubtedly occur. However, uncontrolled release of any data.especially erroneous data for any specific event,has the potential to compromise the directly affectedindividual’s need for confidentiality. Moreover, aggregate MVEDR data may contain an occasional statistical anomaly. While scientifically undesirable, minor errors are not catastrophic to the overall value ofthe data.However, individual or personal data containing statistically insignificant errors or omissions maywrongly attribute liability, falsely indicate fraud, or erroneously convict/exonerate a particular person.
The use of an MVEDR may make personal identification information available, which can potentiallyinclude one, or more of the following:
1) Driver or occupant name or the equivalent
2) Event place, date, and time
3) Precise Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates
4) Wireless telephone number or electronic serial number (ESN)
5) Complete vehicle identification number (VIN)
6) Unique MVEDR serial number
MVEDR data shall not be compiled into a public database or released to third parties without due process of law unless done in accordance with local and Federal privacy regulations. Further, personally identifiable information similar to items a) through f) shall be recognized as requiring more stringent security precautions than data aggregated over multiple events. MVEDR data in the process of being recorded, retrieved, transmitted, preserved, and/or transmitted shall be subject to reasonable means of authentication and verification of its integrity. In particular, records shall be maintained of data recording, retrieval, transcription, preservation, or transmission, by which the “chain of custody” can be retraced to original sources.
