What is PD CEN/TS 16405 – 112-eCall about?
The ability to reach help on time is a vital factor during a crash. The 112-eCall system in the vehicle contacts the 112 emergency services, establishes a wireless telephone connection and immediately provides the public service answering point (PSAP) with a minimum set of data that identifies the vehicle, location of the crash, the direction of travel, and may provide additional relevant data. It may also provide the number of passengers, and other vehicles and incident-related data.
PD CEN/TS 16405 provides specifications for an optional additional data concept for commercial vehicles to provide dynamic data about the load that it is carrying at the time of the incident that triggered the eCall, with specific emphasis on the identification of dangerous goods.
Note: PD CEN/TS 16405 does not specify the communications media protocols and methods for the transmission of the eCall message.
