The URGENCY algorithm uses data from on board crash recorders to assist in identifying crashes that are most likely to have time critical injuries. The algorithm calculates the risk of an AIS 3+ injury being present in the crashed vehicle. The basis for the algorithm is a multiple regression analysis using data from the National Accident Sampling System/Crashworthiness Data System, years 1988-95. The algorithm was deployed and evaluated by a NHTSA during a Automatic Crash Notification Field Operational Test in Erie County, New York. Additional validation was conducted using case data from the William Lehman Injury Research Center. The URGENCY algorithm offers promise of augmenting the Automatic Crash Notification System by identifying those crashes with seriously injured occupants.
