In the paper there were compared some of the types of devices used for measuring vehicles movement parameters, which in direct way measure various physical parameters. There was discussed, how data are registered by acceleration sensors with electronic gyroscopes, used among others in the automotive "black boxes". There was carried out the signal analysis from above mentioned sensors, followed by making simulation and experimental research. For both types of studies, there were made the attempts to reconstruct the motion of the mass center of a car, on the basis on pre-assigned (in a simulation computer program) or measured (in a real experiment) acceleration and angular velocity values. The results indicated the existing restrictions in usage of sensors to make reconstruction of vehicle movement parameters, justifying the need for further research to clarify the causes and minimize the observed errors.
