This Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) study focused upon the application of Mayday strategies to meet emergency response challenges along the US 93 corridor in Northwest Arizona. This route was chosen due to its history of accidents, remote location, topology, and the need for enhanced communications on this busy North American Free Trade Agreemnent (NAFTA) corridor. Due to the lack of consistent communications availability on US 93, automated in-vehicle technologies along with their costs were not deemed practical at this time. The project focused on mass market accessibility so that all travelers on the corridor would have access to whatever implementation was recommended. A diverse approach to accident identification and notification was developed, arriving at a recommendation for three TAC and stakeholder-defined projects: Motorist Assistance Patrol; Emergency Telephones; and Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO) Corridor Watch Program.
