The Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International received final approval from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) on May 20, 2022, for a newly created American National Standard (ANS).
data transfer and handling
APCO/NENA ANS 2.102.1-2022 Advanced Automatic Crash Notification (AACN) Vehicle Emergency Data Set (VEDS) was developed by a working group consisting of a diverse group of representatives from organizations and agencies of various sizes, locations, and responsibilities.
This standard provides a common data set used to deliver AACN data to emergency communication centers and responders, identifies crash and medical data elements, and uses a common data exchange format allowing for multiple methods of data transfer and handling.
efficient emergency response
“AACN data set determines useful and critical data elements needed to provide an efficient emergency response to vehicle emergency incidents,” said Jason Kern, President of APCO International.
“This standard provides major benefits to the dispatch of first responders and the patient care chain of survival."
