TSAG SurveyCAV Opportunites and Impacts on Emergency Response

Overview

Connected/Cooperative Automated Vehicles (CAV) present a number of potential challenges and opportunities to emergency response and public safety. There is a need to work with public safety agencies to identify potential response risks and opportunities of automation.

The Transportation Safety Advancement Group (TSAG) is identifying response issues associated with CAV and the potential impacts on public safety emergency responders. We will summarize these issues, review current research being conducted in this area, including work being done by USDOT, NHSTA, and NCHRP, and identify gaps in the current research and future research needs in a whitepaper for use by TSAG Communities of Interest.
