Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) developed software called URGENCY for use with Automatic Crash Notification (ACN) technologies to improve triage, transport, and treatment decision-making. The aim is to identify, instantly and automatically, the approximately 250,000 crashed vehicles with serious injuries occurring each year from the 28 million crashed vehicles with minor or no injuries. For the covering abstract see ITRD E825082.
