Mayday/ACN Systems Today• Immediate notification of crashes or in-vehicle emergencies when airbag

deploys or emergency call button is pressed

• Real-time information for 9-1-1, law enforcement, EMS, and incident mangers

• Private sector (consumers) absorbing most of costs for life-saving technology

• “Call screening” for actual emergencies; exact location; vehicle type; driver information; call-back number

• One Million Vehicles by 12/31/00

National Mayday Readiness Initiative

Project Background • A public-private process to work out integration issues

between private call centers, PSAPs, incident managers and EMS

• Co-sponsored by ComCARE Alliance and U.S. Department of Transportation; supported by grant from General Motors

• Includes leaders of all key stakeholder organizations including NENA, APCO, and NASNA

• Process to increase awareness of Mayday technologies and reach non-regulatory consensus on key issues: technical, policy and business
