Abstract Although the 9-1-1 system has been an unqualified success story for more than 30 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 will need to address. Because text, data, images, and video are increasingly common in personal communications and are critical to future transportation safety, the 9-1-1 system will be expected to accommodate highly mobile, dynamic communications modes. The architecture of these communication nodes directly counters 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.
