In a rapidly evolving landscape of automotive safety and emergency response, COVESA’s 9-1-1 Dispatcher Visibility Demonstration Project represents a pivotal step forward in enhancing post-crash care through technological innovation. This panel, moderated by Brian Tegtmeyer, ENP, Coordinator of the National 9-1-1 Program for NHTSA, will bring together leading stakeholders from the 9-1-1, automotive, and public safety communities to explore the critical advancements and collaborative efforts that are driving this initiative. The discussion will delve into how the integration of LiDAR, radar, and camera technologies, coupled with advanced data transmission systems and cloud-based ecosystems, is set to revolutionize the way 9-1-1 dispatchers manage and respond to road-related incidents. By providing real-time visual data and enhanced decision-making tools, this project aims to reduce response times, improve resource allocation, and ultimately save lives. Panelists will share insights on the project's development, its potential impact on municipal emergency services, and the importance of securing SS4A grant funding to bring these cutting-edge solutions to communities across the nation. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how this project aligns with national efforts to advance 9-1-1 systems and the collaborative role of public and private sectors in shaping the future of emergency response. This session is a must-attend for those committed to advancing the safety and effectiveness of our nation’s 9-1-1 personnel and systems, ensuring that they are equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
