ACN+ Powerd by RapidSOS

This next generation emergency response solution leverages the latest in-vehicle sensors and digitally transmits vehicle crash data to 9-1-1. The result is to provide faster notification to 9-1-1 allowing first responders to make more informed decisions immediately following a potentially life-threatening incident before they ever arrive on scene.

100 fatalities About 100 motor vehicle fatalities happen every day
10 to 19 mins Average response time to 9-1-1 calls
36 to 55 mins Average time from crash to hospital arrival
17% reduction Reduction in fatalities, if first responders could get to an accident scene one minute faster

1. Vehicle Triggers Signal

Voice Call & Data Transfer

Emergency Response Specialist communicates with driver and determines dispatch needs while the vehicle sends incident crash data to the SiriusXM Platform. The Emergency Response Specialist maintains communication with the driver and passengers until emergency personnel arrive on scene.

2. Dispatch Initiated

The Sirius XM platform routes incident data to 9-1-1. 9-1-1 dispatchers and first responders receive driver and vehicle information with available crash data. If the driver has opted to share medical data, first responders can also access through a linked account such as MedicAlert.

3. Emergency Contact Called

Driver’s emergency contact is called and can conference with Driver & Emergency Response Specialist.

Enriched Data Available for Enhanced Emergency Response

ACN+ enables a real time data connection to 9-1-1, delivering critical incident information to emergency response systems. The expansive set of data is not limited but can include the following: vehicle description, sensor data (such as airbag deployment, impact points and seat positioning) and occupant information. In addition, if a driver has a personal medical profile such as MedicAlert, ACN+ can access and link to these accounts to share potential medical information with first responders.

The Sirius XM Connected Vehicle Services Response Center can also verbally relay on scene, incident information provided by the vehicle occupants upon initial contact such as: extent/nature of injuries; description of occupants (e.g. presence of infants, elderly; apparent injuries or conditions; number of vehicles involved; final resting position of vehicle (e.g in middle of road or off road, visible from roadway); and additional location details (e.g., nearby landmarks).
