Abstract
Electronic control units of Bendix® ABS/ESC and Collision Mitigation Systems have the capability to record event data in the ABS/ESC control unit. Bendix refers to this event data recording functionality as the Bendix Data Recorder (BDR). This paper presents an overview of the BDR functionality and examines the range and resolution of data elements, the synchronicity or timing of the recorded data, and application of the data for use in analyzing crashes. Various tests were performed using trucks equipped with Bendix® Wingman® Fusion™ and were conducted in a manner to trigger BDR records. BDR data was compared to data collected from the J1939 CAN Bus and from Racelogic VBOX data loggers.
