  4. The pan-European eCall (1) • Triggered automatically by the in-vehicle device or by vehicle occupants • Builds on the single European Emergency number (112 and E112) • Creates a voice link to the closest emergency centre (PSAP) and sends data message (Minimum Set of Data) including accurate location • Challenges: • Pan-European interoperability • Building the location-enabled emergency service chain, including PSAP upgrades • Solving the business case for all stakeholders: users, automotive, telcos, insurance, emergency services

  5. The pan-European eCall (2) The potential for lives saved • Estimated by the SEiSS1 Study, E-MERGE Project, U.S. data • Confirmed by the Finnish Aino Study • 4.7% lives saved on call delay only • 2001 - 2003 when almost 100% penetration of mobile phones in Finland • Further evidence being looked at • eIMPACT Project (DG INFSO) • Field Tests in the Member States? • Field Tests – EC FP7 (starting 2008) 1 Exploratory study on the potential socio-economic benefits of the introduction of Intelligent Safety Systems in Road Vehicles

  7. The eCall MoU The MoU aims at parallel commitment of all stakeholders towards full eCall Roll-Out: • The parties will actively contribute to development of implementation and business plans, and • Will define together an overall European work plan • Will work together under the eSafety Forum More than 60 signatures Including 7 MS, ACEA, ERTICO

  8. The 2nd eSafety Communication Bringing eCall to Citizens • Adopted on 14 September, 2005 • Significant progress towards the full-scale roll-out of eCall has been achieved • But: Roll-out can be delayed if the national and regional governments do not invest in the necessary infrastructure for eCall

  9. Actions for the Member States • The Member States should sign the eCall MoU • Lack of signatures threatens to delay the eCall implementation and weakens the commitment of industry • The Member States should promote 112 and E112 • the Member States should promote the use of 112 and take steps for accelerating the introduction of location information in their public wireless networks • The Member States should upgrade their PSAPs to handle location-enhanced E112 calls and eCalls • The infrastructure at PSAPs should be in place at the latest at the end of 2007 • The Member States should provide adequate location-enhanced emergency services and language support • For maximum benefit, the whole emergency chain should be upgraded

  10. Promoting eCall • The Member States should set up national platforms for promoting eCall • The Commission will launch a promotion campaign on 112, E112 and eCall and organise conferences • The Commission will propose establishing a sub-group dealing with public safety and emergency communications under the Civil Protection Committee • All stakeholders should support the work of the eSafety Forum and the eCall Driving Group • The European Standardisation Organisations ETSI and CEN, with the support of ITSSG should provide the necessary standards

  11.
