Vehicle Black Box

All Rinho devices include a triaxial accelerometer with integrated Black Box function. Captures high-frequency data before and after each event for precise incident reconstruction.

How It Works

How Does the Black Box Work?

Similar to aviation black boxes, our devices continuously record data and preserve it when any event is detected.

Circular Buffer

Records continuously

Event Detected

Impact, braking, etc.

Data Preserved

10s pre + 10s post

Triaxial Accelerometer

High-precision MEMS sensor integrated in all Rinho devices.

  • Range: ±8G
  • Resolution: 12 bits
  • 3 axes (X, Y, Z)

10 Samples per Second

Sampling frequency that captures every detail of the event.

  • 10 Hz standard
  • Configurable up to 100 Hz
  • Precise GPS timestamp

Circular Buffer

10 seconds pre-event + 10 seconds post-event stored.

  • 20 seconds total
  • Automatic pre-buffer
  • Non-volatile storage

Persistent Data

Information is preserved even if vehicle power is cut.

  • Internal flash memory
  • Power-cut resistant
  • Recoverable post-incident

Complementary Data

Speed, heading, ignition and CAN Bus included in each sample.

  • GPS + Accelerometer
  • Ignition status
  • RPM and pedals (CAN)

Automatic Calibration

Device self-calibrates post-installation at any angle.

  • No configuration needed
  • Gravity compensation
  • Any orientation
Detection

Automatically Detected Events

The system detects and stores high-frequency data for each event type. Thresholds are configurable according to your operation.

Impact / Collision

Detects frontal, lateral, rear collisions and rollovers.

Threshold: > 1.0G typical

Harsh Acceleration

Aggressive starts and hard throttle presses.

Threshold: > 0.3G typical

Harsh Braking

Emergency braking, panic stops and ABS activated.

Threshold: > 0.4G typical

Harsh Cornering

High-speed curves and abrupt lane changes.

Threshold: > 0.3G typical
Applications

Integration

Power up with HM Module

The black box captures data. The Maneuver Detection (HM) module analyzes it and generates real-time alerts, Drive Score and reports to improve your fleet's driving.

  • Automatic Drive Score per driver
  • Real-time harsh maneuver alerts
  • 8 configurable instances with independent thresholds
  • Driver ranking for incentives
