Wireless in-vehicle complaint driver environment recorder

In this paper, an in-vehicle complaint recording device is presented. The device is divided in independent systems for image and audio data acquisition and storage. The systems, designed to work under in-vehicle complaint devices, use existent in-vehicle wireless architectures for its communication. Several tests of the recording device in a highly realistic truck simulator show the reliability of the developed system to acquire and store driver related data. The acquired data will be used for the development of a valid methodology for the reconstruction and study of traffic accidents.
