eCALL

Abstract

The eCall system is designed to save lives by using communication technology in a vehicle. All new cars in EU markets from April 2018 onwards will have to be equipped with a device, which will trigger emergency call in case of an accident. In Slovenia, all the necessary infrastructure for the functioning of the system is already installed. As there will still be many older vehicles on the road after April 2018, it would make sense to develop a device that would trigger an automatic emergency call from the vehicle eCall, which could be installed in these vehicles. The eCall system works over the GSM network, however, since all services are mostly migrating into the IP world, even here, questions arise about moving the eCall system.
