Using Event Data Recorder to Detect Road Infrastructure Failures from a Safety Point of View

Event Data Recorder (EDR) are usually used to collect safety-relevant events related to driver's behaviour and to provide feedback in order to positively impact their behaviour. EDR's potentialities allow a much wider field of finalities. This paper aims at contributing to EDR's efficiency evaluation regarding to road safety. Results obtained through a French research project will be presented to assess how EDR can help local authorities to detect road infrastructures defects related to safety issues.
