Are you sure about this one?? Trevor I suggest that u dd the data onto another disk first (presuming that dd will work).

In case of hit and run accidents on country roads, there would be no data if the driver simply maintained speed, and would be an incentive not to avoid an accident, cause if the driver did try to avoid (by braking swerving etc.) there would be evidence against him.

> Whenever there is a crash or sudden jerks or hard braking, U will require gadzillion bytes of storage given the state of our roads. Even if the roads were ok, every time u braked hard ur data would be sent out. And every time there was an accident without hard deceleration or acceleration, there would be no data. Quite an indeterminate state of affairs. rgds jtd

[OT] Investigating Accidents
by Rony Bill 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

Hello Luggers, Whenever an accident takes place on the road, the biggest problem is to find out who was at fault. This is even more important when investigating accidents involving public transport buses and trucks. If we have a video recorder that will record the entire bus journey, it would use up a lot of memory space with unnecessary recordings. Instead of that suppose we have a system where video cameras mounted strategically on the bus send their signals to an onboard computer mounted inside a safe black box. The recording memory will only be sufficient for recording one or two minutes of video recording. The system will be such that the older recording will be continuosly overwritten by the new one, so at any given time, the last two minutes recording of the bus journey will be available. Whenever there is a crash or sudden jerks or hard braking, the sensors mounted on the bus will send a signal to the computer which will zip the last 2 minutes recording into a file and send it by wireless networks to the control room's base station. This file can be usefull to investigate accidents involving public buses. Later on it can also be made mandatory on all private vehicles who will trasnsmitt the signals to a central controll room of the traffic department. Thanks and Regards, Rony.
