Abstract
This study focuses on the creation of a Black Box, a vehicle data recording device that records information regarding speed, turn signal activation, and brake use. Its primary purpose is to identify the factors that contribute to motor vehicle accidents. The research includes the design, development, and testing phases of this customized Black Box for mechanized motorcycles. In addition, it provides a practical solution to the difficulties encountered by law enforcement and other parties in determining the cause of an accident. This study is structured as a development research project and entails the conception, production, and evaluation of a novel product. The Black Box design incorporates key components such as the Arduino Uno microcontroller, SD Card Memory, and Real-Time Clock (RTC). This research concludes with significant findings. First, it produces a reliable and effective vehicle data recording system (Black Box) that can identify accident causes. Secondly, experimental results confirm that the efficacy of the device is consistent with its intended design. In addition, the efficacy of the device is highlighted by the fact that it operates without interfering with other mechanical and electrical vehicle systems. This eliminates the need for manual activation and conserves battery power during vehicle inactivity.
