Specialized Expertise for Heavy & Passenger Vehicle Data
DELTA |v| possesses specialized training, knowledge, and experience to extract and analyze data from any EDR-equipped heavy vehicle. No matter the condition of the vehicle or module, our experts can recover the data that could change your case.
- We are an approved service provider for Volvo and Mack trucks.
- DELTA |v| has developed custom solutions for accessing EDRs off-vehicle.
- We are an approved service provider for Daimler trucks.
- Our team regularly tests new trucks to validate EDR data.
Leading Heavy Vehicle Capabilities
In addition to being selected as one of four designated EDR Service Providers for Mack and Volvo trucks, we have an advanced in-house EDR laboratory in our Charlotte location. These facilities enable us to support three common HVEDR data extraction methods:
- Onsite Downloads: An engineer plugs directly into the incident vehicle to extract HVEDR data.
- Surrogate Truck: The EDR is removed from the incident vehicle and stored until the download is performed. During the time of data retrieval, the module is placed on a surrogate truck for power during the extraction.
- Benchtop Downloads: The EDR is removed from the incident vehicle, although no vehicle is required during this extraction. The HVEDR plugs directly into an equipped laptop for the data download.
This breadth of capabilities lets us meet the needs of our clients for virtually any circumstances.
Leading Passenger Vehicle Capabilities
All DELTA |v| engineers go through specific Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) training and many participate in research and testing. Our engineers take a comprehensive approach to passenger vehicle EDRs, gathering data from multiple sources including:
- Air bag modules
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
- Infotainment systems
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
The sources of data on passenger vehicles are rapidly evolving. As safety and automation systems on vehicles become more prevalent, the amount of available data is growing exponentially. We are making a concerted effort to stay on the forefront of this technology.
- Continuous education through the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
- Conducting instrumented testing of new systems to evaluate performance
- Developing new techniques for data harvesting
