Black boxes are valuable in car accident investigations because they provide detailed records of events leading up to an incident. The information can potentially corroborate or contradict witness accounts or other evidence.

YAPI technicians able to retrieve information such as:
How fast the vehicle was traveling in the seconds leading to impact.
If the driver was actively accelerating into a collision or reducing throttle.
How hard the driver braked, if at all in reaction to the events around them.
If the driver made any avoidance attempt to steer left or right before impact.

Unlike passenger vehicles, the availability of commercial vehicle Event Data Recorder (EDR) data is not determined by the truck manufacturer. It is determined the engine manufacturer.
YAPI is able to obtain EDR data from Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, International, Mercedes-Benz, PACCAR, and some Volvo engines. These engines can be found in trucks produced by various manufacturers including Freightliner, International, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Sterling, Volvo, Western Star, and more.
We are also able to obtain useful accident related data from the various Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) found on Commercial Vehicles including Bendix and Meritor WABCO systems.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) found on most Commercial Vehicles can report vehicle speed, accelerator/throttle usage and engine RPM. The EDR can also measure brake application, clutch status andcruise control operation, electronic log books, and more.
Depending on the ECM, there may be up to 1 minute and 44 seconds of data before a triggering event. Then, 15 seconds after, in at least 1 second intervals.
Unlike passenger vehicles, commercial vehicle imaging can be difficult to complete correctly. In some cases, the electronic data can be easily spoiled. Data for commercial vehicles is stored in the engine ECM(s) and related systems and each manufacturer has their own way to store and recover accident related data. It takes time and effort to stay up on the latest software and techniques used for each of these engines, so it is important to make sure the company imaging your truck is up to date on the latest methods.
For each commercial downloads, our technicians will work with engineers will as a team to ensure all available data is retrieved and no data is lost.
With over 25 years of experience, we conduct private investigations and gather the critical intelligence that businesses and law firms need to make informed decisions for themselves and their clients.
