IEEE has updated its IEEE 1616 standard for motor vehicle event data recorders

 

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has updated its IEEE 1616 standard for motor vehicle event data recorders (MVEDRs) to incorporate an NFC protocol safeguarding access to information held on such a device.

The updated IEEE standard seeks to maintain privacy, prevent tampering, avoid odometer fraud, limit data access and enhance safety for these devices.

IEEE 1616 is one of a suite of standards relating to transportation and the mobility industry to provide neutral, open, interoperable and globally applicable solutions to various mobility domains.
