\nOnStar has been receiving additional data from vehicles in crashes since 2004 and, over time, the data set has grown in sophistication. OnStar Advisors have a great deal of information they can share about crash incidents, including:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Location, with latitude and longitude<\/li>\n
- Vehicle type \u2014 including make, model, color and year \u2014 and fuel type (such as an electric vehicle)<\/li>\n
- Crash data, such as airbag deployment, multiple impacts, principle direction of force, whether seat belt pretensions have deployed, or if a front seat passenger is present<\/li>\n
- Injury Severity Prediction (ISP) 2<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
All of this data can help guide decisions on dispatch priority, patient care and transport of the patient, including where to transport and by what means \u2014 ground or air. But the issue continues to be that, in busy ECCs, call takers may not have time to receive this information verbally, enter it into their Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system and then relay it to first responders.<\/p>\n
OnStar understands this challenge, which is why we\u2019ve formed a valuable new partnership with RapidDeploy \u2014 one of the industry\u2019s top integrated response platforms \u2014 to send crash data electronically to their platform, where it can be utilized in an ECC as part of California\u2019s future NG911 implementation. RapidDeploy\u2019s cloud-based Next-Generation 911 technology will transmit the OnStar data to the ECC as soon as OnStar has validated the need for emergency response.

<\/p>\nRapidDeploy\u2019s cloud-based Next-Generation 911 technology will transmit the OnStar data to the ECC as soon as OnStar has validated the need for emergency response.<\/p>\n
The transmitted data sent to California\u2019s ECCs from RapidDeploy will include this crash-related information:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Location where crash occurred (latitude\/longitude, state\/province, county)<\/li>\n
- Incident number<\/li>\n
- Incident received time<\/li>\n
- Sent time (time appears on advisor screen)<\/li>\n
- Vehicle make, model, year and color<\/li>\n
- Crash detected (data, if applicable)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- \n
- \n
- High probability of severe injury indicator<\/li>\n
- Airbag deployment indicator<\/li>\n
- Principal direction of force (direction of impact)<\/li>\n
- Multiple impacts indicator<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- Autonomous vehicle indicator<\/li>\n
- Specific engine types \u2014 electric vehicle, hybrid electric vehicle, internal combustion engine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\u201cFor over two decades, OnStar has been committed to working with public safety to transform emergency call processing,\u201d says Catherine Bishop \u2014 Senior Manager, OnStar Global Emergency Services. \u201cOur partnership with RapidDeploy will allow us to electronically transmit critical crash data directly into the Emergency Communications Centers\u2019 ecosystems to facilitate more informed dispatch decisions and enhanced patient transport at crash scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are proud to work with OnStar to deliver telematics data to 9-1-1 as part of our Unified Critical Response platform,\u201d says Steven Raucher, CEO and Co-founder of RapidDeploy. \u201cTogether, we will arm Telecommunicators and First Responders with additional context and situational awareness when they need it most, to save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
