| Abstract | Although the 9-1-1 system has been a success for nearly 40 years, changes in the public’s use of technology, the saturation of the mobile market, and the spread of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephony over broadband are contributing to greater expectations that the current system needs to address. Because text, data, images, and video are increasingly common in personal communications and are critical to future transportation safety, users expect the 9-1-1 system to accommodate highly mobile, dynamic communications modes. The architecture of these communications modes is inconsistent with the fundamental structure of the current 9-1-1 system. To guide and foster a nationwide vision of a 9-1-1 system for the 21st century, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) is taking a lead role in the research and development needed to bring about a more capable Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) system that supports emergency call delivery and a response-based system that maximizes impact across a diverse stakeholder community. |
