Vehicle Emergency Response

The Vehicle Emergency Response (VER) application provides public safety vehicles with information from connected vehicles involved in a crash. Emergency responders need information about the vehicles involved in a crash to respond safely and effectively to the vehicle crash. Information such as HAZMAT data can assist the responders on-board the responding public safety vehicle to prepare. Information about air bag activations can provide useful input to ambulance staff. In addition information about the power system of the vehicle (e.g. hybrid, electric, or internal combustion engine) can affect the response.
