Abstract: A system for monitoring and recording vehicle and passenger data constantly during operation, which combines, stores and analyzes data. A recording device connects to systems that may include vehicle status, video, audio or other data sensor and collection interfaces. Data may be selectively retrieved wirelessly and stored encrypted to preserve authenticity. Data collected could also include: temperature (inside/outside); weather conditions; tire slip; roll, yaw, pitch; altitude; speed and changes to speed; GPS data; any available radio signals and the strength and source of those signals; vibration; sound level and changes; air pressure; light and changes; intrusion; moisture; humidity; inertia/gravitational forces; vehicle (OBD) error codes; vehicle weight; tire pressure; location of the device within the vehicle; engine RPM (and other OBD available data); time/date, and passenger embark, riding, and disembark data.
