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 - eCall zusätzliches Datenkonzept für Ausrüstungsbeschränkungen

Dieses Dokument legt ein ergänzendes Datenkonzept fest, das als „optionaler zusätzlicher Datenteil“ eines eCall-MSD, wie in EN 15722 definiert, 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 zu diesen 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 eines der in EN ISO 24978 [1] festgelegten Datenverzeichnisse festzulegen. Ein Beispiel findet sich auf www.esafetydata.com.

Systèmes de transport intelligents - eSafety - concept de données supplémentaires d’eCall pour limitations de l’équipement

Le présent document définit un concept de données supplémentaires pouvant être transférées dans le cadre de la partie « données supplémentaires facultatives » du MSD d’un eCall, conformément à 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 conformément à la norme EN ISO 24978 [1]. Consulter www.esafetydata.com pour voir un exemple.

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 defined 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 defined in this document.

See list of referenced standards.

1 Scope

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.

5 Conformance

The conformance requirements for this document are simply that the concept conforms to EN 15722, and

that the total length of the MSD, including this additional data concept, if used, remains 140 bytes.

eCall equipment that is conformant to (only) the core standards shall not use this data concept, as its

functionality shall not be limited. Use of this data concept is reserved for eCall equipment that is and shall

be (also) conformant to additional standards that allow for such limitation, whenever such limitation

applies. Any eCall standard that endorses limitations to the core standards shall make the use of this data

concept mandatory for equipment that has limited functionality.

NOTE The mere existence of this data concept does not allow for, condone or suggest any limitation in eCall

equipment.
6 Requirements
6.1 General

This document describes an addition to the standard EN 15722 for the coding of the MSD message. All

requirements from EN 15722 shall be met in respect of this additional data concept.

6.2 Concepts and formats
6.2.1 MSD data concepts

The MSD as defined in EN 15722 is a direct, timely message to the PSAP operator receiving the emergency

call.

The MSD has an optional additional data block that may be used to add information elements containing

information about the vehicle involved.

The information elements in the additional data block of the MSD will have been selected on the basis of

their relevance in an emergency rescue situation. These will in any event need to be provided in

accordance with European Union and national privacy regulations pertaining at the time of the transfer

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 17870:2022
prEN 17870:2022 (E)

of any such personal data and in accordance with the provisions of EU 2016/679 ‘General Data Protection

Requirements’.
6.2.2 Representation of MSD data concepts

The MSD is represented in ‘Abstract Syntax Notation’ (ASN.1) using the ‘Unaligned Packed Encoding

Rules’ (UPER) as defined in ISO/IEC 8825-2 using the ASN.1 definitions defined in EN 15722. The

message shall be sent in the sequence defined in that same annex.

This additional data concept shall also be defined following the provision made in above named annex.

6.2.3 Distribution of MSD data

The MSD shall be transmitted and formed as described in EN 15722, which also means that the maximum

length of the overall MSD shall not exceed 140 bytes.
6.2.4 Equipment limitations additional data-concept ‘Object Identifier’

The object identifier uniquely identifies the format and meaning of the data which follows in the

additional data concept.

Both the syntax of the data structure and the semantic meaning of the content is referenced via this

identifier so that it can be usefully applied.

The uniqueness of each specific relative identifier is ensured by a specific international standardization

body, and maintained in a data registry operated in accordance with EN ISO 24978 [1]. These identifiers

are all relative to a specific root. And the root of all eCall relative OID's shall be the same.

eCall has been allocated the OID 1.0.14817.106.2.1. Within this, arc ‘.2’ has been defined to contain

‘Optional Additional Data concepts’ and within that subarc this additional data concept is registered as

‘.7’. The OID for the version of that concept as defined in this deliverable shall be 1.0.14817.106.2.1.2.7.1.

The OID for ‘Optional Additional Data concepts’ (1.0.14817.106.2.1.2) is fixed and shall not be transmitted

over the air as part of the additional data. The MSD data element ‘oid’ is defined as RELATIVE-OID and

shall contain 7.1.
