Beyond the Black Box: Turning R169 EDR Data into Actionable Intelligence

Smarter Post-Collision Intelligence for the R169 Era with EDR Crash & Injury Severity Console

As of January 7, 2026, UNECE R169 mandates event data recorders for all new heavy-duty vehicle types sold in the EU, with full fleet compliance required by 2029. For OEMs and fleet operators running commercial trucks and buses, this regulation marks a turning point - not just for safety systems, but for how crash data is captured, decoded, and applied across compliance, claims, and operations.

Yet regulatory readiness is only part of the challenge. With third-party bodily injury payouts rising and medical claim costs climbing, the pressure on fleets to accelerate post-collision workflows has never been higher. Traditional crash investigation processes - manual evidence gathering, fragmented EDR readouts, slow handoffs between teams - simply can't keep pace with today's operational demands or regulatory scrutiny.

The EDR Crash & Injury Severity Console from Sibros transforms post-collision response into a streamlined, software-defined workflow. By decoding event data recorders and computing injury severity indices automatically, the platform empowers compliance, engineering, and operations teams to investigate faster, report accurately, and resolve claims with confidence.

Crash Detection Timeline: From Impact to Insight

Every collision generates a critical window of data. The EDR Crash & Injury Severity Console captures and maps the full event sequence - from initial impact detection through system response - into a visual timeline. This comprehensive view helps investigators understand not just what happened, but when and how vehicle systems responded, providing the clarity regulators and claims teams require.

EDR Snapshot Decode: Unlocking the Black Box

R169 specifies over 50 data elements that must be recorded, including speed, braking, delta-V, airbag deployment, and belt status. The Console reads and interprets this data directly, eliminating the delays and inconsistencies of manual extraction. Teams gain immediate access to the evidence they need - formatted for compliance reporting, law enforcement export, or internal analysis.

Injury Severity Scoring: Data-Driven Triage

Understanding occupant impact is essential for claims resolution and regulatory reporting. The Console computes injury severity scores based on crash dynamics, helping teams estimate occupant injury levels and prioritize response accordingly. This data-driven approach supports faster, fairer claims processing while strengthening liability clarity.

Claims Packet Export: Evidence, Ready to Go

Building an evidence package after a crash has traditionally required hours of manual aggregation. The EDR Crash & Injury Severity Console automates this process, preparing verified crash data packages ready for claims systems or law enforcement. By reducing technician time and human error, fleets can shorten claim cycle times and improve recovery rates.

Purpose-Built for R169 Compliance

Designed for commercial trucks and buses operating in the EU and UK, the EDR Crash & Injury Severity Console addresses the core challenges fleets face in the R169 era: slow crash analysis, missing EDR context, and manual evidence builds. With guided workflows, automation, and full traceability, the platform turns compliance from a burden into an operational advantage.

Available as an app on the Sibros Marketplace, the EDR Crash & Injury Severity Console brings software-defined intelligence to post-collision workflows - helping fleets stay compliant, resolve claims faster, and keep operations moving.
