According to the findings, the devices are to be installed in all cars and light-duty vehicles. In addition to information about the accident, the system will also transmit data such as the location of the vehicle, its brand or type of fuel used. The message is sent, even if the passenger will not be able to speak or be unconscious.
eCall will use the emergency phone number 112. It is to be compulsory and free. The European Commission estimates, mounting the device in the car will cost manufacturers up to 100 euros.
During the development of the provisions of the EP also drew attention to the data protection and privacy of drivers. To protect them, the vehicle tracking mechanism will be put to sleep, and activated in the event of a collision or when the driver turns on him.
The Member States have to be ready to implement the system before 1 October 2017. Every car sold from the end of March 2018 he will need it to be.
The European Commission estimates that fully implemented procedures will shorten the response time by 40 percent rescuers. in urban areas and 50 percent. up areas, which can translate into saving up to 2.5 thousand. people per year. Data from the Ministry of Interior show that in Poland last year died in traffic accidents approx. 3.2 thousand. people, and approx. 42 thousand. were injured.
In proposing rules on eCall, the European Commission predicted that the system will be implemented as early as 2015. The more time for testing, however, asked the automotive industry.
