Intelligent transport systems - eSafety - eCall additional data concept for equipment limitations
This document defines an additional data concept that can be transferred as the ‘optional additional data’ part of an eCall MSD, as defined in EN 15722, that can be transferred from a vehicle to a PSAP in the event of a crash or emergency via an eCall communication session.
The purpose of this document is to provide means to notify the PSAP of any limitations to the sending equipment that are endorsed by other standards, but not (immediately) apparent to the receiver. Lack of knowledge about these limitations can hamper the emergency process. This document describes an additional data concept which facilitates the inclusion of information about such limitations in a consistent and usable matter.
This document can be seen as an addendum to EN 15722; it contains as little redundancy as possible.
NOTE 1 The communications media protocols and methods for the transmission of the eCall message are not specified in this document.
NOTE 2 Additional data concepts can also be transferred, and it is advised to register any such data concepts using a data registry as defined in EN ISO 24978 [1]. See www.esafetydata.com for an example.
Intelligente Verkehrssysteme - eSicherheit - Zusätzliches Datenkonzept für Ausrüstungsbeschränkungen beim eCall
Dieses Dokument legt ein ergänzendes Datenkonzept fest, das als „optionaler zusätzlicher Datenteil“ eines eCall-MSD, siehe EN 15722, von einem Fahrzeug im Fall eines Unfalls oder Notfalls über eine eCall-Kommunikationssitzung an eine Notrufzentrale übertragen werden kann.
Der Zweck dieses Dokuments besteht darin, Mittel zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit denen die PSAP über jegliche Einschränkungen bezüglich der Sendeausrüstung, die zwar von anderen Normen gebilligt werden, für den Empfänger aber nicht (unmittelbar) erkennbar sind, benachrichtigt werden kann. Fehlendes Wissen über diese Beschränkungen kann den Notfallprozess beeinträchtigen. Dieses Dokument beschreibt ein zusätzliches Datenkonzept, das die konsistente und nutzbare Miteinbeziehung von Informationen zu derartigen Beschränkungen vereinfacht.
Dieses Dokument kann als Nachtrag zu EN 15722 gesehen werden. Es enthält so wenig Redundanz wie möglich.
ANMERKUNG 1 Die Kommunikationsmedienprotokolle und Verfahren für die Übertragung der eCall Nachricht werden nicht in diesem Dokument festgelegt.
ANMERKUNG 2 Ergänzende Datenkonzepte können ebenfalls übertragen werden, und es wird empfohlen, solche Datenkonzepte unter Verwendung einer Datenregistrierung, wie in EN ISO 24978 [1] festgelegt, zu registrieren. Ein Beispiel findet sich unter www.esafetydata.com.
Systèmes de transport intelligents - eSafety - concept de données supplémentaires d’eCall pour limitations de l’équipement
Le présent document spécifie un concept de données supplémentaires pouvant être transférées dans le cadre de la partie « données supplémentaires facultatives » du MSD d’un eCall, voir l’EN 15722 et dont le transfert peut s’effectuer d’un véhicule à un PSAP en cas d’accident ou d’urgence, au cours d’une session de communication eCall.
L’objectif du présent document est de fournir les moyens permettant de notifier au PSAP toute limitation de l’équipement émetteur soutenue par d’autres normes, mais qui n’est pas (immédiatement) apparente pour le récepteur. La méconnaissance de telles limitations peut entraver le processus d’urgence. Le présent document décrit un concept de données supplémentaires qui facilite l’inclusion d’informations sur ces limitations de manière cohérente et exploitable.
Ce document peut être considéré comme un ajout à la norme EN 15722 et réduit autant que possible le contenu redondant.
NOTE 1 Le présent document ne spécifie ni les protocoles des supports de communication ni les moyens de transmission du message eCall.
NOTE 2 Des concepts de données supplémentaires peuvent également être transférés et il est recommandé de consigner ces concepts de données dans un registre de données comme spécifié dans l'EN ISO 24978 [1]. Consulter www.esafetydata.com pour voir un exemple.
Inteligentni transportni sistemi - e-Varnost - Koncept dodatnih podatkov e-Klica za omejitve opreme
Ta dokument določa dodatne podatkovne koncepte, ki so lahko preneseni kot »izbirni dodatni podatkovni« del minimalnega nabora podatkov za elektronski klic v sili (eCall MSD), kot je opredeljen v standardu EN 15722, ki se lahko prenaša iz vozil do odzivne točke javne varnosti (PSAP) v primeru nesreče ali izrednih razmer prek komunikacijske seje e-klica.
Namen tega dokumenta je zagotoviti način za obveščanje odzivne točke javne varnosti o morebitnih omejitvah opreme za pošiljanje, ki so v skladu z drugimi standardi, a niso (takoj) očitne prejemniku. Nepoznavanje teh omejitev lahko ovira postopek odzivanja na izredne razmere. Ta dokument opisuje dodaten podatkovni koncept, ki omogoča dosledno in koristno vključevanje informacij o takšnih omejitvah.
Ta dokument je mogoče obravnavati kot dodatek standardu EN 15722; vsebuje kar najmanjšo mogočo mero odvečnih podatkov.

Introduction
The pan-European in-vehicle emergency call, 'eCall', is estimated to have the potential to save up to 2 500
fatalities annually in the EU when fully deployed, and furthermore to reduce the severity of injuries, to
bring significant savings to the society in and to reduce human suffering.
eCall, in the context of “Intelligent Transport Systems” or “ITS”, (previously known as “Road Traffic and
Transport Telematics”) can be described as a “user instigated or automatic system to provide notification
to public safety answering points, by means of wireless communications, that a vehicle has crashed, and
to provide coordinates and a defined minimum set of data, and where possible a voice link to the PSAP”.
The installation of eCall is mandatory for each new type of passenger vehicle car which is approved after
March 2018 and the system has already proven to be beneficial. Expansion to other vehicle categories
and the possibility to retrofit equipment to existing vehicles is imminent and additional standards are
devised to support this. Such standards are needed because the existing (core) standards are focussed on
mandatory, in-factory installation in specific categories of vehicle (UNECE Category M1/N1). Projects like
HeERO, iHeERO, sAFE and others have shown that sometimes not all requirements laid out in the core
standards can be met, due to physical or other limitations related to the vehicle category or type of
installation.
Although such limitations are known at the sending side, the receiving side (i.e. the PSAP) currently does
not (always) have means to determine those. There is, to name one example, based on the core standards,
no way a PSAP can determine whether the eCall equipment in the vehicle is installed in-factory, retrofit
or even a user installed after market solution. The lack of this knowledge can interfere with the
emergency process and cost valuable time.
Part of eCall is (the sending of) a “Minimum Set of Data” (MSD) which is specified in EN 15722. That
standard makes a provision for additional data that can be embedded in the MSD assuming that it follows
a(nother) standard. This document is such standard and it describes an additional data concept that can
and is expected to be used to inform the PSAP about limitations to the equipment. Such limitations are
only allowed if supported by one or more standard(s) applicable to that specific application of eCall. If
and when a standard endorses a limitation, the use of the additional data concept described in this
document is mandatory.
NOTE The communications media and means of transferring the eCall MSD are not specified in this document.
See list of referenced standards.
1 Scope
This document specifies an additional data concept that can be transferred as the ‘optional additional
data’ part of an eCall MSD, see EN 15722, that can be transferred from a vehicle to a PSAP in the event of
a crash or emergency via an eCall communication session.
The purpose of this document is to provide means to notify the PSAP of any limitations to the sending
equipment that are endorsed by other standards, but not (immediately) apparent to the receiver. Lack of
knowledge about these limitations can hamper the emergency process. This document describes an
additional data concept which facilitates the inclusion of information about such limitations in a
consistent and usable matter.
This document can be seen as an addendum to EN 15722; it contains as little redundancy as possible.
NOTE 1 The communications media protocols and methods for the transmission of the eCall message are not
specified in this document.
NOTE 2 Additional data concepts can also be transferred, and it is advised to register any such data concepts
using a data registry as specified in EN ISO 24978 [1]. See www.esafetydata.com for an example.
