Testing, Validation, and Peer-Reviewed Publications

> At Crash Pulse Technologies, credibility isn't just a goal; it's a requirement.

> To support the forensic reliability and acceptance of the CDX, as well as its compatibility with existing legacy crash data hardware and software, we have conducted extensive beta testing, validation testing, and repeatability testing. In February of 2026, a technical paper titled “Validation of a Legacy-Compatible Vehicle Communication Interface for the Retrieval of Crash Data from Passenger Vehicles” was published by SAE. A second technical paper was submitted to ARJ in January of 2026.
