• Abstract:
  The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Roadway Safety Strategy relies on the Safe System Approach to mitigate risks associated with roadway crashes. Once a crash happens, actions can be taken to care for the injured, protect responding personnel, and prevent secondary crashes. Just as the safe system relies on a holistic approach and multiple layers of protection, the TIM strategy for supporting post-crash care also encompasses multiple facets of expediting care and protecting responders (figure 1). Training TIM responders, facilitating safe and fast responses, protecting responders at the scenes, and helping these responders depart safely are the layers that describe TIM technology supporting post-crash care.
