An interesting article from Law Officer Technology – A Black Box for Police Vehicles

The article is titled – Under The Microscope – Black box driver data technology that could save lives & careers

The article states that the device can measure “ the frequency of heavy braking or acceleration events, traction control, ABS and even the yaw rate of the vehicle in cornering maneuvers. The list of data options is extensive and also includes whether or not the siren or lights were activated and for how long, lateral acceleration levels, fuel usage, throttle position and more.”

With the capability to measure those characteristics I see a use for the system in the training environment. In the near future we will cover what we feel are its training and secure transportation applications.

The device is manufactured by Telogis.
