Marked EMS vehicles are frequently struck in the rear at crash sites or intersections by civilian vehicles. As previously discussed in this column (see related links below for more), sirens aren’t very effective. But because eyes are our primary method of gathering information, effective lighting can be. Fortunately, a solution exists through the application of a reliable technology that begins with exciting a lot of electrons in a very small space, which results in a spectrum of very bright light.

This technology is the LED, or light emitting diode, and it presents numerous advantages over incandescent and strobe lighting options.

New sirens cut ambulance crashes in Okla.

Reprint: By EMS1 Staff

Originally from: EMS1.com

TULSA, Okla. — New siren technology has reduced the number of ambulance crashes at an EMS agency by 50 percent.

Oklahoma’s Emergency Medical Services Authority introduced Howlers to its fleet that covers central and northeast areas of the state last November. Over 10 months from January this year, it reported eight crashes involving its ambulances at intersections compared to 16 for the same period in 2008.

EMSA Paramedic Michael Ginn, who was involved in two of the 16 crashes last year, said that in both instances motorists failed to yield the right-of-way, even though the ambulances’ emergency lights and sirens were activated.

"Drivers are increasingly distracted, but the Howler seems to shake them to attention," he said. "It takes longer for ambulances to get to patients when motorists fail to yield. The Howler helps us get where we’re going faster and improves safety on the road."

EMSA in Oklahoma and Acadian Ambulance Service in Louisiana are the first agencies in the nation to outfit their entire fleets with the sirens.

The Howlers emit low-frequency tones that cause objects within 200 feet to reverberate. It means motorists can feel an ambulance approaching even if they can’t see or hear it.

EMSA estimates that the reduction in collisions has saved $80,000 in ambulance repair and replacement costs alone. "Of course, that’s just damage to our ambulances, it’s not at all unusual for cars that collide with ambulances to be totaled," EMSA Fleet Manager Kelly Smith said. "And there’s a human aspect – injuries, pain and suffering, lost productivity – that must be considered, too."

The $400 Howlers complement EMSA’s existing sirens rather than replace them, with the agency saying the technology’s penetrating, 10-second burst is ideal for helping paramedics cut a path through heavy traffic and intersections.

"Whenever we use the Howler it seems that it catches people attention a lot more than just the regular siren," Paramedic Steve Leissner told NewsOK.com.

"That gives all of our field crews a lot more confidence that we can get to where we need to be safely."

STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ — All Traffic Solutions, the leader in traffic safety outcomes, is pleased to introduce a new grant program called "School Zone Safety." Schools with students in elementary, middle and/or high school can apply for the grant, which will award a radar speed display to the institution that best demonstrates a proactive traffic safety program and identifies how traffic calming devices will improve overall student safety.

All Traffic Solutions works closely with municipalities and other organizations responsible for public safety to ensure that the highest level of safety outcomes is realized. Scott Johnson, Vice President of All Traffic Solutions explains, "School zones present special challenges, with traffic flow heavier at opening and closing times, the presence of student drivers, and a large number of students of all ages on foot. At All Traffic Solutions we focus on eliminating the incidence of accidents and injuries and work with schools to improve traffic-related safety measures. The School Zone Safety grant program is intended to reward schools displaying initiative when it comes to student safety relative to vehicles."

Schools nationwide are eligible to apply for the "School Zone Safety" grant. Submissions are due by December 18, 2009 and the grant award will be announced January 8, 2010. Details and an application form are available at www.alltrafficsolutions.com.
