About this website
As part of the sAFE project (Aftermarket eCall for Europe), the idea of an eCall Association will be developed to enhance the eCall community to work on future requirements and challenges of eCall continuously.
To reach this goal ITS mobility organises workshops to involve the whole eCall community and to address all relevant
needs.
The results of these workshops will be presented at the eCall Days 2020.
Vision of the eCall Association
The overall vision is to develop an all-inclusive association to enhance the cooperation between the stakeholder groups involved in emergency call (eCall) globally with the aim of increasing road safety and reaching Vision Zero by improving the eCall functionality.
The focus will be to provide a continuous forum and platform to discuss open
challenges around eCall, to develop harmonised solutions and, to disseminate new study results regarding eCall (after market, new supported vehicles, Next Generation 112, TPSP, etc.), and to provide input and practical expertise to regulators and concerted sector representation and advice to, and interface with, the European Commission and other regulators.
The eCall Association will organise, manage, and support workshops, conferences and working groups, and provide a conduit between the relevant industry stakeholders, and administrative and regulatory bodies globally who have an interest in eCall; and will provide support and input to Standardisation and Testfest initiatives. The goal being the coordinated deployment of eCall across all vehicle categories, and the continued maintenance and improvement of the overall eCall service.
