Method for providing information to first responders of vehicle accidents

摘要

Vehicle-specific and/or accident-specific information is provided, by a backend server, to the user of the first responder application executing on a mobile device. The application is configured to provide the mobile device's current location to the backend server, so that nearby vehicles involved in accidents may be identified to the user of the application. The application may further be configured to receive a user selection of a particular accident from the list of accidents provided by the backend server and, in response thereto, provide vehicle-specific and/or accident-specific information for display on the mobile device.
