The goal of the Connected Safety BoF is to help motorists avoid crashes, minimize the consequences of crashes should they happen, and expedite recovery. The mission is to bring together public safety, automotive, commercial transportation, and government to make our roadways safer for everyone. The goal is to accelerate delivery of connected technologies to benefit everyone that shares, protects, and maintains our roadways.
This Working Session is dedicated to discussing how ADAS collision avoidance technologies (e.g. automatic emergency braking/steering) seamlessly integrated with emerging collision aftercare technologies (e.g. global vehicular emergency data network system/automatic emergency lighting) are poised to transform the aftermath of collisions into a streamlined and supportive process when collisions unavoidably occur.
Industry Experts TBA – ADAS Collision Avoidance LiDAR/radar/camera Tier 1 suppliers
DISCUSSION POINTS:
- Real-Time Data Exchange: Advanced vision technology can provide real-time data on road conditions, potential hazards, and detected objects to 911/112/000 computer-aided dispatch and first responders.
- Enhanced Situational Awareness: High-speed and accurate scanning capabilities can provide 911/112/000 computer-aided dispatch and first responders with instantaneous 'eyes-on-scene' situational awareness, enabling faster and more informed responses to emergencies.
- Collision Avoidance/Aftercare Assistance: Alerting drivers and autonomous vehicles to potential collisions, allowing them to take evasive action and avoid collisions, while instantaneous notification and dispatch of first responders provide assistance when collisions unavoidably occur.
- Optimized Emergency Response: Leveraging real-time data to optimize emergency response routes, prioritize resources, and provide timely assistance to crash victims, ultimately saving critical seconds and lives.
