The European Commission with the active contribution of NTUA, SWOV and KFV has published at the European Road Safety Observatory, the Post-crash data Thematic Report which are essential for mapping the care continuum and identifying delays or failures in the chain of survival. This Reports emphasizes that for every fatality, around five people suffer serious injuries with lasting consequences, and the annual economic cost across EU 27 remains high. By capturing data at link – call receipt, dispatch, travel time, on-scene interventions, transport intervals, clinical treatment and rehab – authorities can pinpoint bottlenecks, improve protocols and ensure that all phone-users, including those with disabilities or while roaming, receive timely help. Furthermore, automatic crash notification systems, enhanced mobile-phone location services, and integrated crash-detection functions are some of the countermeasures suggested in order to create a seamless continuum from detection to definitive care.
