eCall DATA REGISTRY

When your car crashes, the emergency responders want to know what car? where? how many passengers?

 

But if a truck crashes the emergency responders also need to know what is in the truck.

 

Is it petrol? hazardous chemicals? Radioactive?

How much hazardous substance may be on the road, or likely to catch fire?

 

Even technically non- hazardous materials can be a major hazard on the highway! - Ball bearings, grease, detergent, livestock, etc.

 

CEN TS16405 ITS - eSafety - eCall HGV optional additional dataset

 

Provides 2 options:

 

a) A link to an IP address  where detail of the content of the HGV can be found

b) Detail of the cargo on-board

 

This data is stored as an "Optional Additional Data" concept as part of the eCall Minimum Set of Data

 

This data concept definition can be found in the eCall Data Registry

 

ISO 15638-10 provides a means to send emergency messages to landside application service providers using on-board ITS-station communications via cellular communications, 5.9 GHz communicaitos and other wireless media

 

NOTE: Triggering mechanisms for HGV eCall will likely be different than those for light vehicles. In general HGV's do not have 'air-bag' deployment; and in the case of hazardous goods, an eCall may need to be sent in situations where the truck has simply broken down, because of the hazard risk, or risk of theft/hijack etc.
