Accident Data Recorders (ADRs) in the area of commercial and public fleets have proved to have a considerable accident preventative effect and as a result have significantly reduced consequential costs. Apart from offering effective relief to professional drivers from the risk of erroneous liability the ADR has served well as a management tool to reduce collisions, damages and repair costs in an unexpected way. Due to the large number of recording parameters and the technical reliablity of the ADR, drivers become aware of having little chance of excuses or blaming others and tend to drive more carefully. Thus improved driver behaviour (drivers knowing that actions would be accurately recorded) and accountability (the recording of status inputs such as horn, lights, brakes etc.) resulting in the reduction of collisions. In the paper, the Accident Data Recorder preventative effects are outlined at the SAMOWAR Project and the Berlin Police Project. The use of ADRs contribute noticeably to the reduction of collisions, improve the understanding of the cause of collisions and reduce consequential costs. ADRs can also be used to monitor driving styles and provide information for fleet management purposes.
