Recording data

As part of Volvo's safety and quality assur-
ance, certain information about the vehicle's
operation, functionality and incidents are
recorded in the car.
Vehicles equipped with VCM High
lect data on the vehicle's safety functions as
well as other functions in the vehicle. Data are
collected for product development, quality fol-
low-up and safety work, as well as to improve
and monitor the vehicle's quality and its safety
functions. The purpose of data collection is
also to manage Volvo Car Corporation's war-
ranty undertakings, as well as to meet legal
requirements related to engine emissions
data.
NOTE
In conjunction with data collection, Volvo
may use a small part of the vehicle's data
plan of up to 10 MB/month.
This vehicle is equipped with an "Event Data
Recorder" (EDR). Its primary purpose is to
register and record data related to traffic acci-
dents or collision-like situations, such as times
when the airbag deploys or the vehicle strikes
an obstacle in the road. The data is recorded in
order to increase understanding of how vehi-
cle systems work in these types of situations.
The EDR is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a
short time, usually 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
data related to the following in the event of
8
can col-
traffic accidents or collision-like situations:
How the various systems in the car
•
worked
Whether the driver and passenger seat-
•
belts were fastened/tensioned
The driver's use of the accelerator or brake
•
pedal
The travel speed of the vehicle
•
This information can help us understand the
circumstances in which traffic accidents, inju-
ries and damage occur. The EDR only records
data when a non-trivial collision situation
occurs. The EDR does not record any data
during normal driving conditions. Similarly, the
system never registers who is driving the vehi-
cle or the geographic location of the accident
or near-miss situation. However, other parties,
such as the police, could use the recorded
data in combination with the type of person-
ally identifiable information routinely collected
after a traffic accident. Special equipment and
access to either the vehicle or the EDR is
required to be able to interpret the registered
data.
