Live demo “The eCall Journey” to feature eCall for

Powered Two Wheeled vehicles, lorries and coaches
Hazardous Good Vehicles
Also covering next generation 112 for eCall

The ITS European Congress in Strasbourg 19 to 22 June 2017 sets the stage for a live demonstration of eCall, the emergency call system, from car to control room. For the very first time, an eCall demonstration will also show the potential future of eCall for Powered Two Wheelers (motorcycles), lorries and coaches as part of the I_HeERO project.

The I_HeERO team will present an update on eCall development progress including the challenges they have addressed in developing the system for particular vehicles, such as those carrying hazardous loads or locations where terrestrial communication is not possible as well as the integration of Earth observation data with PSAP software. Visitors will see first-hand the features that the next generation of eCall may include and experts will be on-hand to answer questions.

Demonstration vehicles including trucks, bikes and cars will be on the stand showcasing e-Call and a demonstration system for the control room (PSAP) linked to Earth observation software.

The demonstration is organised by Satellite Applications Catapult, in cooperation with ERTICO – ITS Europe and IRU.

Practicalities:
