About the Bosch Crash Data Retrieval System

The BOSCH Crash Data Retrieval System (CDR System) has fast become an indispensable part of a complete crash reconstruction program. Police agencies, private reconstructionists, government agencies and other safety researchers have fast come to the realization that data stored in the air bag control module and ONLY accessible using the BOSCH CDR System is an invaluable part of a complete and thorough crash reconstruction. Whether for trial, research, or any other crash related safety program, the CDR System has become an integral tool in the effort to move roadway safety efforts forward.

The Crash Data Retrieval System consists of hardware and software that downloads pre-crash and crash data from a vehicle's air bag module to a computer. The Windows® based Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) software presents this data in easy-to-read graphs and tables.

The BOSCH Crash Data Retrieval System has set the standard for accurate and reliable products designed to help professional accident reconstructionists, law enforcement officers, insurance claims adjusters, fleet management and others do their jobs better and faster.
