Effects Of Different Crash Data Variables On Ems Response Time For A Rural County In Alabama, Sneha R. Vanga, Phillip M. Ligrani, Mehrnaz Doustmohammadi, Michael Anderson Apr 2022

Effects Of Different Crash Data Variables On Ems Response Time For A Rural County In Alabama, Sneha R. Vanga, Phillip M. Ligrani, Mehrnaz Doustmohammadi, Michael Anderson

PRC-Affiliated Research

Response time of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is an important factor related to preventable deaths in road crash incidents. This study focuses on analyzing the effects of different independent variables on the EMS Response Time (ERT). Independent variables considered for this investigation are travel time, day of the week, crash severity, weather, time of the day, and lighting condition. Understanding outcomes resulting from variations of the considered parameters on ERT is crucial to minimize the possibility of adverse outcomes which are tied to different types of injuries, and vital to limit the prospect of fatalities. Crash data used for this …

A Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) is considered to compare results provided using two different kernel weighting functions: adaptive bi-square kernel and adaptive Gaussian kernel. To provide a baseline reference comparison, resulting data are also considered relative to Global Regression Analysis (GRA) calculations, which are obtained without the inclusion of geographical variability location data. For the analysis, data associated with a total of 214 crash cases for the dates between January 2016 and December 2019 are studied for a rural county in Alabama. Associated crash records are extracted from the Critical Analysis Reporting Environment (CARE) database. Six independent variables, including travel …
