Connected Safety Birds of a Feather

Draft Charter

Bring together public safety, automotive, commercial transportation, and government to make our roadways safer for everyone:

• Define comprehensive stakeholder-based safety-related scenarios and value propositions
• Collaborate with COVESA members and others safety-related organizations to develop safety expertise and community within COVESA
• Develop integrated safety system prototypes and references implementations
• Publish white papers on key findings, best practices, and implementation recommendations

Result

Accelerate delivery of connected technologies to benefit everyone that shares, protects, and maintains our roadways.  Examples:

• Protect and give aid to vulnerable vehicles and occupants stranded along roadway
• Reduce response time and secondary collision risk for motorists involved in a crash
• Provide 911 Public Safety organizations with critical information so that they dispatch the right personnel and equipment to the scene
• Mitigate liability and lost productivity for commercial vehicles involved in roadway crashes

In this workshop we discussed the needs and value created for the following:

  • will share insights into public safety needs and provide real-world data examples.
