Often, before a medical or biomechanical analysis of injury can be performed, an assessment of the impact severity is required.

The airbag module records the speed change experienced by the vehicle during the collision, which is an important indicator of impact severity.

For example, a car that had rear-ended another vehicle that was stopped at a traffic signal, the roads were wet, there were no witnesses other than the drivers and the police could not determine the point of impact nor how far each car moved after impact, there was no damage to either vehicle.

However, after the accident the driver of the struck car began to experience neck pain that persisted long after the accident.

The crash data downloaded indicated that the car had only experienced a speed change of 3.0 mph during the collision well below injury threshold levels, the driver should at most experienced mild discomfort.

The case was resolved quickly with less overall effort and consequently...expense.
