Project Scope
- Optimise the in-vehicle emergency call (eCall) via an intelligent in-vehicle trigger system
- Optimise the eCall service chain by ensuring that in-vehicle data reaches emergency control centres quickly and is then where possible, transmitted to emergency vehicles
- To provide a “blue corridor” system through vehicle-to-vehicle communication to notify road users of the approach of an emergency vehicle
- Improve the safety of the incident scene with a “virtual coning” system that transmits warnings about the incident to approaching road users
- Enable remote reporting and the transfer of relevant data to hospitals and other third parties, before the emergency vehicle leaves the scene
