The principal objective was to determine how effective a helicopter ambulance could be in increasing the chances of survival of traffic accident victims. It was hypothesized that travel time could be reduced particularly in an urban environment where traffic congestion and other factors could delay conventional ambulance response to traffic accidents. It was also the purpose of the study to analyze the reactions of those transported, the operational problems of landing at accident sites and hospitals, weather restrictions, communications, helicopter characteristics, possible area coverage, costs and other than medical uses of the helicopter.
