REPORT SUMMARY This section provides an overview of the predictive analytics used for the estimation of claim severity, exposure, and fraud risk for the most recent crash or event sequence. Pre-Crash Data The following reconstruction data analysis relates to the moderately severe front crash that was detected by the Event Data Recorder (having a recency of 4 ignition cycles ago): Within the 5.0 seconds of recorded pre-impact data for the most recent crash, the recorded speed range on this vehicle was 21 mph to 68 mph. The vehicle speed was 21 mph at the moment of impact. Driver/Vehicle Maneuver Driving and got rear-ended. Going straight. The driver's foot came off the accelerator at 4.0 seconds prior to impact. The driver depressed the brake pedal at 3.5 seconds prior to impact. Loss Indicators 3 Alerts: Panic Stop, Unbuckled Driver, Emissions Test Failure Diagnostic Scan Results Event Data Recorder Scan completed successfully. Crash data detected. Emissions Testing Scan completed successfully. Emissions test failed. 1 DTC found. Enhanced Diagnostics N/A Freeze Frame Data The following "freeze frame" data (which may be collision related) was detected by the Engine Control Module (or some other module): A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) having associated vehicle speed data was retrieved, indicating the vehicle travel speed at the moment the DTC was set. The vehicle's current parameter condition was 33226 miles travelled since the DTC was set, indicating the correlation to the impact under investigation. The vehicle speed was 22 mph (at the time the DTC was set). Recalls / VIN History Recalls 6 potential recalls found. Safety Ratings Alerts: Poor rating for frontal small overlap. VIN History 2 title records found. Latest known mileage: 24,312 miles.

Recommended Action Confirm the relevance of the crash event data to the reported collision claim by verifying that the event data recency (based on ignition cycles or mileage) is consistent with the Date of Loss (based on approximate vehicle usage). Check that the pre-crash data is consistent with the reported circumstances. If posted speed is 35 mph or less, evidence of Dangerous Operation. CRASH DATA RECORDS This section lists crash data records stored on the vehicle's event data recorder, if any. The date of data collection was 2021-09-09. Recency (Sequence) Crash Severity Type / Damage Area Sudden Speed Change (Delta-V) Force of Impact (Mean g-Force) Principle Direction of Force (PDOF) Ignition Cycles since Event Most Recent (1st Impact) Moderate Rear 13.05 mph (Increasing) 4.40 g 175 degrees (6 o'Clock) 4 Most Recent (2nd Impact) Moderately Severe Front -21.13 mph (Decreasing) 7.55 g 5 degrees (12 o'Clock) 4 How To Interpret This Information A moderately severe front crash was detected by the Event Data Recorder. At the time of data retrieval, the vehicle's ignition had been turned on 4 times since the crash event recording. The mean (average) acceleration in the most recent crash event was 7.55 g (up to the maximum Delta-V). The maximum Delta-V (Change in Velocity) value as measured by the airbag module's accelerometer reached 21.13 mph within 127.5 milliseconds, with an instantaneous peak force level of 14.16 g. The vehicle experienced a sudden decrease in speed due to the most recent collision, by a force acting on the vehicle from a direction of approximately 12 o'clock (where the front of the vehicle is 12 o'clock). Crash events are sorted and displayed in order of recency. It is possible for an airbag module to contain multiple records for a single event. In that case, event recency will be further marked by "1st Impact", "2nd Impact"...etc., with "1st Impact" being the initial record in sequence. Crash severities based on delta-V are categorized into six levels: Negligible (< 2.49 mph), Minor (2.49 - 4.97 mph), Moderate (4.97 - 15.53 mph), Moderately Severe (15.53 - 24.85 mph), Severe (24.85 - 34.8 mph), Extremely Severe (> 34.8 mph). Crash severities based on roll angle are categorized into six levels: Negligible (< 10 degrees), Minor (10 - 20 degrees), Moderate (20 - 30 degrees), Moderately Severe & Possible Rollover (30 - 40 degrees), Severe & Likely Rollover (40 - 50 degrees), Extremely Severe & Likely Rollover (> 50 degrees). Event Data Applicability Confirm the relevance of the crash event data to the reported collision claim by verifying that the recency (based on ignition cycles or mileage) is consistent with the Date of Loss (based on approximate vehicle usage). Check also that the pre-crash data is consistent with the vehicle’s reported pre-impact speed and maneuver. Example calculation of daily vehicle usage: if the vehicle was reported to be used an average of 2 times per day between the collision and date of data retrieval (2021-09-09), the recorded collision event could be estimated to have occurred approximately 2 days prior, on or about 2021-09-07. The number of ignition cycles indicates the number of times the ignition has been turned on (to key on, engine off position). Vehicles with automatic start-stop systems (engine idle off) do not increase the ignition cycle count. A similar calculation can be performed using daily mileage. A lack of relevant crash event data for the collision under investigation indicates any of the following: 1. The vehicle was powered off at the time of the impact

2. The impact severity failed to meet the minimum required threshold for the EDR to record EDR Trigger Thresholds EDRs calculate the Delta-V (the sudden change in velocity), by integrating accelerometer data after being triggered at a predefined threshold, which can vary by manufacturer. For Nissan, a front/rear (longitudinal) or side (lateral) acceleration recording is expected to be triggered when the cumulative Delta-V is over 5.0 mph, where the time series data will be recorded for up to 250 ms (sampled at 100 times per second). Note that while 5.0 mph (1.51 g) is a regulated EDR trigger threshold, some vehicle makes/models are able to record crash events below this threshold, in certain situations. The following trigger thresholds are known for Nissan vehicles: Longitudinal (Front/Rear): 5.0 mph within 150 ms, or 1.51 g. Lateral (Side): 5.0 mph within 150 ms, or 1.51 g. If a recent Low Velocity Impact occurred, the overall transfer of forces to the occupant are expected to have been below the known EDR trigger thresholds. In this situation, consider further investigation. An EDR (Event Data Recorder) is a function or device installed in a motor vehicle to record technical information about the status and operation of vehicle systems for a few seconds immediately before and during a crash for the primary purpose of post-crash assessment [1]. EDRs are regulated under 49 CFR part 563. Part 563 was established on August 28, 2006 (71 FR 50998) and requires that light vehicles [2] equipped with EDRs meet certain requirements for data elements, data capture and format, data retrieval, and data crash survivability. An EDR as defined by Part 563 is not required to record data such as audio or video recordings and does not log commercial operator-associated data, such as hours of service [3]. The requirements of Part 563 apply only to those light vehicles that are voluntarily equipped with EDRs that were manufactured on or after September 1, 2012.

Accelerator Pedal, Brake Switch Status, and Steering Angle can be used to reconstruct the driver's maneuver leading up to the impact. Deceleration (in g) is calculated using speed differences between data points. Note that deceleration depends heavily on road conditions. For example, in winter driving conditions, it may only be possible to reach a peak

deceleration of 0.2 g. Distance to Impact is estimated through the use of numerical integration on recorded speed data. The distance is an estimation only and can be inaccurate if the vehicle experienced wheel spin under hard acceleration, or wheel lock under hard braking.

Drive Down Frontal collision where the driver accelerates up to impact, with no pre-impact brake application. N/A No Avoidance Maneuver No driver input for either brake or steering maneuver within the 2 seconds prior to impact. No Possible Distracted Driver In a frontal collision, driver did not either brake or steer 2 seconds prior to impact. No No Pre-Impact Speed Reduction Brake is only applied lightly with no meaningful reduction in speed. No Steered-To Sideswipe Driver steers either left or right, causing an impact on the steered- to side. No Swoop & Squat Driver steers to make a lane change and quickly applies brakes. No Panic Stop Rear-end collision where driver brakes just prior to impact. Yes Possible Non-Recent Event Accident recording may not be recent. Event data recorded 50 or more engine starts prior to data retrieval. Possible issues include Unrelated Damage or Past Posting (no insurance at time of collision). No Possible Intentional Damage Event data recorded on successive engine starts (sequential ignition cycles), or multiple events recorded on the same ignition cycle, where pre-crash data does not overlap. No Pre-Damaged Vehicle Evidence of prior accident damage, where data of multiple events was recorded at different engine starts. Possible issues include Unrelated Damage to Incident, staged Hit & Run, Phantom Accident, or Paper Accident. No Unbuckled Driver Driver not wearing seat belt at the time of crash data recording.

How To Interpret This Information The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) is an electronic system that contains information on certain automobiles titled in the United States. NMVTIS is intended to serve as a reliable source of title and brand history for automobiles, but it does not contain detailed information regarding a vehicle's repair history. All states, insurance companies, and junk and salvage yards are required by federal law to regularly report information to NMVTIS. However, NMVTIS does not contain information on all motor vehicles in the United States because some states are not yet providing their vehicle data to the system. Currently, the data provided to NMVTIS by states is provided in a variety of time frames; while some states report and update NMVTIS data in "real-time" (as title transactions occur), other states send updates less frequently, such as once every 24 hours or within a period of days. Information on previous, significant vehicle damage may not be included in the system if the vehicle was never determined by an insurance company (or other appropriate entity) to be a "total loss" or branded by a state titling agency. Conversely, an insurance carrier may be required to report a "total loss" even if the vehicle's titling-state has not determined the vehicle to be "salvage" or "junk." A vehicle history report is NOT a substitute for an independent vehicle inspection. Before making a decision to purchase a vehicle, consumers are strongly encouraged to also obtain an independent vehicle inspection to ensure the vehicle does not have hidden damage. The Approved NMVTIS Data Providers (look for the NMVTIS logo) can include vehicle condition data from

Generated by Collision Sciences Event Data Disclaimer Airbag ECU data should be used in conjunction with other physical evidence obtained from the vehicle and the surrounding circumstances. It is important to note is that if a vehicle was spinning or rolling surrounding the collision, then the report's speed measurements would not accurately reflect the actual speed of the vehicle during/after it lost control; the speed measurement is typically based on the wheel speed sensor. Signs of this type of anomaly would be rapid changes in speed between the brief timing intervals. The reported speed may be an average of the four wheels; thus could also be skewed by spinning wheels. In combination with scene evidence, an expert could assess vehicle speed by analyzing the data via accident reconstruction and engineering analysis. Users of the Collision Sciences service and reviewers of the reports and exported data shall ensure that data and information supplied is applicable to the vehicle, vehicle's system(s) and the vehicle ECU. Collision Sciences Inc. and all its directors, officers, employees and members shall not be liable for damages arising out of or related to incorrect, incomplete or misinterpreted software and/or data. Collision Sciences Inc. expressly excludes all liability for incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages arising from or related to the online services, evidence logistics, EDR data, EDR software or use thereof.
