Workshop Summaries

COVESA Connected Safety BoF Monthly Update:  April 17, 2025

• Meeting Purpose
• Regroup on Connected Safety Birds of Feather (BOF) initiatives, update on 911 response project progress, and discuss next steps for identifying new road safety projects (see attached document for materials used to frame the discussion).
• Key Takeaways
• BOF group catalyzed significant progress on 911 response improvements, spawning the ADAP (LIDAR Saving Lives 9-1-1 Airbag Deployment Automation Protocol) project
• ADAP aims to reduce preventable deaths by accelerating proper emergency response through tech integration and data standardization
• Group to resume monthly meetings to identify next set of road safety projects/opportunities
• Seeking broader input from community on potential new focus areas

CES2025:  Connect2ar Panel Discussion: Connected Vehicle Safety: Reducing Roadway Risk & Saving Lives:  January 7, 2025  2025  

Description: Fatal collisions involving vehicles, pedestrians, and first responders are at an all-time high, but breakthrough advances in vehicle technology are beginning to turn the tide. From in-dash alerting of roadway hazards and disabled vehicles, to outbound delivery of vehicle data for improved emergency response, new vehicle capabilities and functions are showing just how transformative connectivity will be for improving road safety. In this interactive and insightful panel discussion, learn from experts at the cutting edge of new solutions for vehicle data and roadway safety to learn how connected vehicles are paving the way for a safer future in automotive and transportation.  Watch Video to learn more.

Center for Automotive Research (CAR) Roundtable: Next-Generation 9-1-1 Automotive OEMs; Wednesday, August 7, 2024

Moderator: Ravi Puvvala (General Manager, SBUCenter for Automotive Research)

Speakers: Harriet Rennie Brown (Executive Director National Association of State 911 Administrators), Joni Harvey (State 911 Administrator, Michigan State Police), Jim Lanier (Global Public Safety Engagement Manager, OnStar/GM), Brian Tegtmeyer, (National 911 Program Coordinator, NHTSA), Tim VanGoethem (Chief Product Officer, Emergency Safety Solutions), Lawrence Williams (Founder & CEO, ROADMEDIC), and Frank Weith (NAR Engineering Director., Connected & Mobility Services, Volkswagen of America)

The panel discussed the following questions:

• What role does 911 play in the components of a safe systems approach?
• What do you think is the single most important piece of information that 911 centers currently do not have access to that could positively impact post-crash care?
• Can you describe the ideal future of data delivery about roadway events to a 911 center? If you had a perfect world with no technical limitations, what information would 911 receive and when?
• Can you talk about the importance of streamlining data coming into 911 telecommunicators? We know that there are a lot of data points coming at 911 center staff.  What should technology companies know as they strive to get more data into 911 centers?
• What do you think OEMs and technology leaders could do to help 911 advance post-crash care response?

• What can we do to better protect the scene until help arrives?

• What information can we provide to those involved in a crash to give them comfort and confidence that help is on the way?

Virtual Workshop:  July 11, 2024 at 6:30am PT / 9:30am ET / 15:30 CET.
