The Multi-Jurisdictional Mayday (MJM) group is a consortium of representatives from four state Departments of Transportation, the I-95 Corridor Coalition Mayday study group and the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Rijkswaterstaat. Each has been pursuing different technological solutions to the opportunity to increase the personal safety and security of travelers by reducing the time it takes emergency service providers to reach them after their involvement in an incident or accident. MJM has surfaced a number of institutional barriers, concerns and conflicting public and private opinions and desires regarding Mayday standards, features, functional requirements, protocols and architecture. This paper details those issues, describes the evolution of MJM, lists ITS results, and showcases how MJM has added value to the participating member projects.
