Automatic Emergency Reporting System Technical Committee

1.Aim of activity

Measures to reduce casualties from traffic accidents include various methods in three phases: pre-crash, crash, and post-crash. This committee focuses on the final post-crash phase, with the aim of universalizing and improving automatic accident emergency notification systems. Specifically, the first step is to incorporate recent high-capacity, high-speed communication technology in order to ensure that emergency calls issued in the event of an accident are quickly transmitted to rescue organizations via connected organizations, leading to the start of emergency medical care more quickly. We will propose an overall picture of the system that should exist in the future. Second, we aim to improve the sophistication of notification information that incorporates large amounts of data, including images sent through emergency calls, by incorporating artificial intelligence-related technologies that are currently making rapid progress. . In order to achieve these objectives, it is necessary for experts from industry, government, and academia to come together and discuss technology and social systems in a cross-sectional manner, and we will establish a committee structure and carry out activities for this purpose. .

4. Volunteer activities

In order to realize the purpose of the committee's activities, a "Working Group for the Advancement of Reporting Information" and a "Working Group for Universalizing Emergency Calling Systems" will be established. In the former WG, researchers in fields such as artificial intelligence and image analysis will be added, and together with researchers involved in conventional emergency notifications, they will conduct research activities aimed at realizing more sophisticated notification information that includes information extracted from images. In the latter working group, members from the automobile industry, connecting organizations, government, and medical institutions involved in the flow of reports from cars to connecting organizations to relief agencies and emergency hospitals will study the results of the former working group and aim to improve the sophistication of emergency notification systems. and have a discussion. The activities of the two WGs are reported at the committee meeting held approximately five times a year, and information is shared smoothly among all committee members, and a cycle of comprehensive discussions and feedback to each WG is functioning and beneficial. We will work to produce positive results.
We will prepare these results so that they can be presented in Technical Sessions, forums, etc.
