| Project Description: | This project is the FY 2001 ITS Integration Program earmark for Birmingham, AL. The project, to be conducted by the University of Alabama at Birmingham, will integrate automatic crash notification technology with an organized trauma system in order to expedite identification of vehicle crashes with injuries and the delivery of appropriate medical care. The project will seek to employ remote electronic data collection by emergency medicine personnel, and then using these data, route patients to the appropriate medical facility. These features of the system will be complemented by the use of real-time collision parameters to predict the likelihood of injury in a given crash. | |
