Instant Emergency Response on Impact

1 311 people have died on Australian roads in the past year. This is according to The Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics’ August 2012 edition of the Road Deaths Australia report. Many of these deaths could have been avoided with automatic or immediate calls for emergency assistance. It is further suggested that immediate emergency response could drastically reduce the extent of lasting injuries.

A vehicle fitted with a telematics device from Insurance Telematics Australia is monitored and should the crash sensor be activated (at the point of impact), the control centre is notified immediately. Contact is made with the client and if necessary, emergency response services are dispatched instantaneously to the precise location of the accident, as determined by the GPS tracking. This is truly a life-saving benefit for insured motorists using the Insurance Telematics Australia device.

For Australian motor and compulsory third party insurers this technology not only provides a market differentiator but gives the ability to manage the claims process from the moment of impact. The telematics system automatically records all relevant Accident Data to be used by insurers in the crash assessment.
