Summary In recent days, the use of drive recorders has been rapidly spread mainly by taxies, delivery trucks etc. These devices record images of the road ahead, position, speed, acceleration, application of brakes and so on, of motor vehicles in operation. The use of drive recorders enables us to efficiently collect large quantities of accidents or near-misses data on community roads. The NILIM is conducting research on methods of using scientific data collected by drive recorders to plan and implement safety measures on community roads.
