Abstract
A recoverable, ejectable, data-recording apparatus is configured to record information from multiple recording instruments that are configured to record operating data associated with a moving vehicle. The ejectable apparatus includes means for connecting an ejectable apparatus in parallel to a plurality of data recording instruments in a host vehicle. The ejectable apparatus also includes means for separately storing information received from each of the plurality of data recording instruments for a predefined time period in a memory unit of the apparatus. The ejectable apparatus may further include means for monitoring for occurrence of a predefined criterion which may prior to an occurrence of a catastrophic event involving the host vehicle. The ejectable apparatus may also include means for separating portions of the ejectable apparatus from the host vehicle upon detection of a predefined criterion.
