Federal Initiative Provides Insights to Help States
Reduce Transportation Incidents
About
Transportation Incident Visualization (TIV) is a collaborative project developed in partnership with State EMS Offices, subject matter experts from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), The National Emergency Medical Services Information System (NEMSIS) and ImageTrend. The TIV will grant emergency services leaders, highway traffic safety and public health officials’ access to near-real time dashboards that identify high risk areas and behavioral trends of motor vehicle crash incidents. The collaboration between public and private entities will help reduce deaths and serious injuries as well as prevent transportation-related incidents on the nation’s highway system. The initiative supports the objectives of the USDOT’s National Roadway Safety Strategy, specifically to create safer roads, safer speeds and enhance post-crash care.

Purpose
The purpose of the partnership is to provide near real-time Emergency Medical Service (EMS) data that highlights MVC information vital to state, territorial and federal agencies, empowering them with timely and accessible visualizations designed for streamlined transportation safety problem identification and countermeasure planning needed to optimize the safety of the nation's roadway network and its users.
Why Is This Important?
EMS responds to more than 1.4M motor vehicle crash-related injuries annually. Federal and state entities rely on motor vehicle crash incident data to identify areas for improvement within their communities and along the roadway systems, which they use to request funding to impact overall public safety. Often agencies manually collect data, making it challenging to analyze and garner insights. TIV will offer a systemic approach with near real-time data, giving users the ability to swiftly identify areas of safety vulnerabilities.
Analyzing motor vehicle crashes, understanding why they happen, and what can be done to prevent them from happening is the intelligence gained. Working together, we will help all parties involved use the dashboards to look at transportation incident insights from a predictive perspective. In short, the TIV dashboard insights system is an industry gamechanger.
