ABSTRACT
Among many services offered and developed under ITS, there is strong demand to advance road emergency services known popularly as eCall.
1.1 eCall
The method presented in this paper is a vast improvement on the eCall system currently being rolled out across EU which taps into eSafety initiative. It is part of comprehensive European Commission strategy aimed at improving road safety and transport efficiency across Europe, a joint effort of EC and Western European scientific centres. The European Committee for Standardisation CEN/ TC 278 as well as organisations the likes of ETSI and 3GPP have already embraced that concept.
