Objective: This article develops and validates a new methodology and tool for rescue assistance in traffic accidents, with the aim of improving its efficiency and safety in the evacuation of people, reducing the number of victims in road accidents.
Method: Different tests supported by professionals and experts have been designed under different circumstances and with different categories of damaged vehicles coming from real accidents and simulated trapped victims in order to calibrate and refine the proposed methodology and tool.
Results: To validate this new approach, a tool called App_Rescue has been developed. This tool is based on the use of a computer system that allows an efficient access to the technical information of the vehicle and sanitary information of the common passengers. The time spent during rescue using the standard protocol and the proposed method was compared.
Conclusion: This rescue assistance system allows us to make vital information accessible in posttrauma care services, improving the effectiveness of interventions by the emergency services, reducing the rescue time and therefore minimizing the consequences involved and the number of victims. This could often mean saving lives. In the different simulated rescue operations, the rescue time has been reduced an average of 14%. 相似文献
The JRC Risk Harmonisation Workshop primarily served to collect information on different risk assessment methods across technical areas and countries, the working group session that took place immediately after the workshop with about 35 experts which attended the workshop and interested participants aimed at identifying the next steps forward. As a first step, a few weeks after the workshop, a detailed summary paper was drafted by JRC, distributed for finalisation to all the workshop participants and put in its final version on the Internet for downloading (http://mahbsrv.jrc.it/RiskHarmProj/stresa/Summary-Paper-final.pdf).In Section 1 of this Summary Paper some industry-specific as well as more general conclusions from the workshop sessions are given1, followed by considerations on the status of risk-based decision making (Section 2) and by an outlook on how to possibly continue with this initiative (Section 3). 相似文献
