Automated crash response when seconds matter
RapidSOS verifies crashes, dispatches emergency services, and shares critical data with 911—reducing response delays, protecting drivers, and improving fleet safety

Manual crash response delays emergency help
Most providers still rely on manual escalation—forcing teams to verify crashes, search for local EMS, and verbally relay information with little context. This slows response times and leaves drivers, passengers, and fleets vulnerable.
RapidSOS automates crash verification, instantly dispatches emergency services, and delivers critical data to 911—ensuring faster, more effective response.
How it works
Crash is detected:
Crashes are detected through your mobile apps, telematics platforms, or connected vehicle sensors.
Incident is verified:
RapidSOS can enable your fleet safety agents to verify incidents or provide its own safety agents for verification.
Local first responders dispatched:
Verified incidents escalate to emergency services, sharing critical data (e.g., location, severity, vehicle type) with 911.
Stakeholders notified:
Notifications can be sent to loved ones, fleet managers, or insurers to ensure coordinated post-incident responses.

FAQs about using RapidSOS for crash response
How does RapidSOS integrate with existing telematics platforms?
RapidSOS uses secure APIs and data integrations to connect seamlessly with telematics platforms, enabling crash detection, automated incident reporting, and emergency data-sharing workflows. The integration allows for vehicle diagnostics, GPS tracking, speed, airbag deployment, seatbelt usage, and impact severity to be transmitted to emergency responders.
Additionally, RapidSOS can work with OEM telematics systems and fleet management solutions ensuring compatibility with various vehicle makes and models. The platform also supports customizable data-sharing settings, enabling organizations to control which data is relayed to 911, fleet managers, insurers, or roadside assistance providers.
What data is shared with 911 during a crash?
Critical information such as GPS location, severity of the crash, vehicle details (e.g., type, make, model, year, color, license plate number, VIN), time of impact, speed at the time of collision, airbag deployment status, seatbelt usage, number of occupants detected, vehicle rollover detection, direction of travel, fuel type (electric, gas, hybrid, etc.), and hazard warnings (e.g., fire risk, fuel leaks, or battery hazards in electric vehicles).
Additionally, driver and passenger medical information (if available), and sensor data from the vehicle may also be shared depending on the system in place.
Who verifies the incidents?
RapidSOS enables either your fleet safety agents, our emergency response team, or integrated third-party monitoring services to verify incidents before escalation. Verification can be done through crash detection and/or direct communication with the driver or passengers.
Additionally, some systems allow for video verification via dashcams or in-cabin monitoring, ensuring that false alarms are minimized and true emergencies receive immediate attention.
How does RapidSOS ensure data security and privacy?
Data in RapidSOS servers is encrypted at rest and in transit. RapidSOS exclusively sends data over HTTPS transport layer security (TLS) encrypted connections for additional security as data transits to and from the application.
Can RapidSOS help with non-crash emergencies, such as medical incidents or roadside assistance?
Yes, RapidSOS can relay vehicle location and driver distress signals for medical emergencies and roadside assistance.
Can emergency responders receive additional driver health data (e.g., medical conditions, allergies)?
Yes, if available and permitted by the user, relevant health data can be shared with 911 for better-informed emergency response.
Can notifications be sent to stakeholders or loved ones?
Yes, RapidSOS supports notifications to stakeholders, including family members, fleet managers, insurers, emergency contacts, and roadside assistance providers. These notifications can be sent via SMS, email, or app alerts, providing real-time updates on the crash incident, vehicle location, severity of the impact, and response status. These alerts ensure timely coordination for EMS, Towing, or insurance claims.
