Body

Human Factors Director Dan McGehee was part of the Discovery Channel series Life Behind the Wheel. McGehee describes the GoTeam project, which collects detailed crash information fatal crashes in Iowa. The data include police reports, medical examiner and site data, and media reports. The goal is a more complete understanding of every fatal crash.

He also discussed the possibility of using new technology—specifically cameras in cars—to beam vital information directly from a crash to doctors in the emergency room so that they can assess potentail injuries even before the victim in brought to the hospital.
