Intelligent transport systems - ESafety - Interoperability and user choice in eCall aftermarket and third party eCall services

This document provides a description for voluntarily consenting vendors (subsequently referred to as 'participating service providers’), who wish to provide TPS-eCall service in an open market environment, where users can select and change the service provider. It focusses on the use case 'TPS-eCall service', as standardized in EN 16102, only (and for clarification, does not apply in respect of 112-eCall, where no TPS provider is involved.)
The document determines the preconditions, requirements and functional means needed in order that users of a TPS-eCall service can choose and change her/his preferred service provider (TPSP) out of a range of available TPSPs, who are participating in the open market provisions determined in this specification.
Outside the scope of this document are:
a)   any commercial considerations (e.g. whether the service is offered for free or a charged service or part of a commercial service package offer),
b)   any contractual considerations (e.g. how a service contract between an user and a TPSP is established),
c)   any IT-security related issues in conjunction with the TPS in-vehicle system,
d)   any considerations regarding communication costs (for voice and data) related to the TPS-eCall service
e)   any PSAP related considerations (towards the PSAPs there is no impact related to provider change, since any TPSP needs to negotiate acceptance of its service offering with the PSAPs in the countries where the service is provided, before such service can be provided).

Intelligente Verkehrssysteme - eSicherheit - Austauschbarkeit und Nutzerwahl im eSicherheit-Zubehörmarkt und Drittanbieter eCall-Dienste

Dieses Dokument liefert eine Beschreibung für freiwillig zustimmende Anbieter (nachfolgend „teilnehmende Dienstanbieter“ genannt), die TPS eCall-Dienste in einem offenen Marktumfeld anbieten möchten, in dem die Nutzer den Dienstanbieter auswählen und ändern können. Es konzentriert sich nur auf den Anwendungsfall „TPS-eCall-Dienst“, wie er in EN 16102 genormt ist (und gilt zur Klarstellung nicht bezüglich 112 eCall, wenn kein TPS-Anbieter beteiligt ist).
Das Dokument legt die Voraussetzungen, Anforderungen und funktionalen Mittel fest, die erforderlich sind, damit Nutzer eines TPS-eCall-Dienstes ihren bevorzugten Dienstanbieter (TPSP) aus einer Reihe von verfügbaren TPSPs auswählen und ändern können, die die in dieser Spezifikation festgelegten Bestimmungen für offene Märkte erfüllen.
Außerhalb des Anwendungsbereichs dieses Dokuments sind:
a)   jegliche kommerzielle Überlegungen (z. B. ob der Dienst kostenlos oder gegen Gebühr angeboten wird oder Teil eines kommerziellen Dienste-Paketangebots ist);
b)   jegliche vertragliche Überlegungen (z. B. wie ein Dienstleistungsvertrag zwischen einem Nutzer und einem TPSP aufgesetzt wird);
c)   jegliche Fragen der IT-Sicherheit in Verbindung mit dem bordeigenen TPS-System;
d)   jegliche Überlegungen bezüglich Kommunikationskosten (für Sprache und Daten) in Zusammenhang mit dem TPS-eCall-Dienst;
e)   jegliche Überlegungen bezüglich der Notrufzentrale. (Hinsichtlich der Notrufzentralen gibt es keine Auswirkung im Zusammenhang mit einem Anbieterwechsel, da jeder TPSP mit den Notrufzentralen in den Ländern, in denen der Dienst bereitgestellt wird, über die Akzeptanz seines Dienstangebots verhandeln muss, bevor ein solcher Dienst bereitgestellt werden kann).

Ta dokument podaja opis za prostovoljno sodelujoče dobavitelje (v nadaljevanju imenovane »sodelujoči ponudniki storitev«), ki želijo zagotavljati storitev e-Klic TPS v okolju odprtega trga, kjer lahko uporabniki izberejo in spremenijo ponudnika storitev. Osredotoča se samo na primer uporabe »storitve e-Klica TPS«, kot je standardiziran v standardu EN 16102 (in se – za večjo jasnost – ne uporablja v zvezi z e-Klicem 112, kjer ni vpleten noben ponudnik TPS).
Dokument določa predpogoje, zahteve in funkcionalna sredstva, potrebna za ta namen, da lahko uporabniki storitve e-Klic TPS izberejo in spremenijo svojega izbranega ponudnika storitev (TPSP) iz nabora razpoložljivih posredniških tretjih ponudnikov storitev, ki sodelujejo na odprtem trgu v skladu z določbami, opredeljenimi v tej specifikaciji.
Področje uporabe tega dokumenta ne vključuje:
a) nobenih komercialnih dejavnikov (npr. ali se storitev ponuja brezplačno ali kot plačljiva storitev ali kot del komercialne ponudbe paketa storitev),
b) nobenih pogodbenih dejavnikov (npr. kako je urejena pogodba med uporabnikom in posredniškim tretjim ponudnikom storitev),
c) nobenih zadev, povezanih z varnostjo IT, v povezavi s sistemom TPS v vozilu,
d) nobenih dejavnikov glede stroškov komunikacije (glasovne in podatkovne), povezane s storitvijo e-Klic TPS,
e) nobenih dejavnikov, povezanih z odzivno točko javne varnosti (nasproti odzivni točki javne varnosti ni nobenega vpliva, povezanega z menjavo ponudnika, saj se mora posredniški tretji ponudnik storitev pogajati o sprejemljivosti svoje ponudbe storitev z odzivnimi točkami javne varnosti v državah, kjer se storitev zagotavlja, preden je mogoče tako storitev ponuditi).

Introduction
An eCall is an emergency call generated either automatically via activation of in-vehicle sensors or
manually by the vehicle occupants. When activated, it provides notification and relevant location
information to the most appropriate 'Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)’ by means of ‘mobile wireless
communications networks’, carries a defined standardized ’minimum set of data’, notifying that there has
been an incident that requires response from the emergency services and establishes a voice channel
between the occupants of the vehicle and the ‘most appropriate PSAP’.
There are two principal variants of eCall:
a) 112-eCall (also known as Pan-European eCall);
b) Third Party Service supported eCall (TPS-eCall ; also known as Third Party eCall).
112-eCalls progress automatically from the vehicle directly to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).
Third Party Service supported eCall involves the service and the support of a Third Party Service provider
(TPSP) as an intermediary entity, who may filter out false calls, determine if an emergency call requires
the emergency service or other services (such as breakdown assistance), and may provide additional
information requested by the owner of the vehicle to be passed to emergency services in the event of an
emergency call, or where the vehicle does not have the capability to send the full MSD data set, may add
data and consolidate the MSD before forwarding it to the PSAP. A TPSP may typically offer TPS-eCall as a
part of a bundle of wider support services.
The deployment of 112-eCall service in Europe is mandatory for all new models (classes M1, N1) as of
31 March 2018. According to Regulation (EU) 2015/758 a TPS-eCall service can co-exist provided that
the measures necessary to ensure continuity in the provision of the service to the consumer are adopted;
according to Regulation (EU) 2015/758 (3 c), the vehicle user must have the option to elect to use a 112-
based eCall in-vehicle system at any time.
Third Party eCall service is a private commercial service which may be offered optionally and
supplementary to 112-eCall service.
However, the possibility to choose and to change third party eCall service provider has not so far been
defined regarding in-vehicle systems for third party eCall service, although interoperability and user
choice are significant aspects for fair competition in the European Service Market.
1
According to Regulation (EU) 2015/758 , open choice for users and fair competition should be ensured,
as well as innovation should be encouraged, in order to boost the competitiveness of the European
Union's information technology industry in the global market.
This document provides specification for such interoperability.
NOTE It is recognized that some vehicle manufacturers and service providers may not want or are unable to
participate in such an open market. This document is therefore developed for voluntary use by parties who may
wish to participate in an open market for service provision.

1 Scope
This document provides a description for voluntarily consenting vendors (subsequently referred to as
'participating service providers’), who wish to provide TPS-eCall service in an open market environment,
where users can select and change the service provider. It focusses on the use case 'TPS-eCall service', as
standardized in EN 16102, only (and for clarification, does not apply in respect of 112-eCall, where no
TPS provider is involved.)
The document determines the preconditions, requirements and functional means needed in order that
users of a TPS-eCall service can choose and change her/his preferred service provider (TPSP) out of a
range of available TPSPs, who are participating in the open market provisions determined in this
specification.
Outside the scope of this document are:
a) any commercial considerations (e.g. whether the service is offered for free or a charged service or
part of a commercial service package offer),
b) any contractual considerations (e.g. how a service contract between an user and a TPSP is
established),
c) any IT-security related issues in conjunction with the TPS in-vehicle system,
d) any considerations regarding communication costs (for voice and data) related to the TPS-eCall
service
e) any PSAP related considerations (towards the PSAPs there is no impact related to provider change,
since any TPSP needs to negotiate acceptance of its service offering with the PSAPs in the countries
where the service is provided, before such service can be provided).

5 User-oriented considerations
5.1 basic consumer principles
TPS-eCall is a private commercial service, offered by independent service providers (e.g. car insurance
companies, automobile clubs, insurers and other commercial companies), and vehicle manufacturers
(OEMs), who offer a TPS-eCall service as paid service, a free service, a member benefit, or other
contractual benefit.
While some TPS service providers tie their service provision to other considerations, it is expected that a
number of service providers have interest to operate in an ‘open service’ environment, where the user
may change TPS service provider (for example a member of an automobile club may wish to change his
TPS-eCall service provision to another automobile club, or perhaps to the vehicle insurer, if the user sees
benefit in so doing). End users usually have basic needs which relate a product respectively to the benefit
of a required service. In general, the following basic principles may be identified as requirements for a
competitive single market:
a) User choice;
b) Fair competition;
c) Data protection.

These basic principles are broadly accepted and agreed between major key stakeholders in the fields of
Automotive sector and ITS and underpin Regulation (EU) 2015/758 Recital 16. “In order to ensure open
choice for users and fair competition, as well as encourage innovation and boost the competitiveness of the
Union's information technology industry on the global market, the eCall in-vehicle systems should be based

applications or services. As this requires technical and legal back-up, the Commission should assess without
delay, on the basis of consultations with all stakeholders involved, including vehicle manufacturers and
independent operators, all options for promoting and en

CEN/TS 17313:2019 (E)
Introduction
An eCall is an emergency call generated either automatically via activation of in-vehicle sensors or
manually by the vehicle occupants. When activated, it provides notification and relevant location
information to the most appropriate 'Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)’ by means of ‘mobile wireless
communications networks’, carries a defined standardized ’minimum set of data’, notifying that there has
been an incident that requires response from the emergency services and establishes a voice channel
between the occupants of the vehicle and the ‘most appropriate PSAP’.
There are two principal variants of eCall:
a) 112-eCall (also known as Pan-European eCall);
b) Third Party Service supported eCall (TPS-eCall ; also known as Third Party eCall).
112-eCalls progress automatically from the vehicle directly to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).
Third Party Service supported eCall involves the service and the support of a Third Party Service provider
(TPSP) as an intermediary entity, who may filter out false calls, determine if an emergency call requires
the emergency service or other services (such as breakdown assistance), and may provide additional
information requested by the owner of the vehicle to be passed to emergency services in the event of an
emergency call, or where the vehicle does not have the capability to send the full MSD data set, may add
data and consolidate the MSD before forwarding it to the PSAP. A TPSP may typically offer TPS-eCall as a
part of a bundle of wider support services.
The deployment of 112-eCall service in Europe is mandatory for all new models (classes M1, N1) as of
31 March 2018. According to Regulation (EU) 2015/758 a TPS-eCall service can co-exist provided that
the measures necessary to ensure continuity in the provision of the service to the consumer are adopted;
according to Regulation (EU) 2015/758 (3 c), the vehicle user must have the option to elect to use a 112-
based eCall in-vehicle system at any time.
Third Party eCall service is a private commercial service which may be offered optionally and
supplementary to 112-eCall service.
However, the possibility to choose and to change third party eCall service provider has not so far been
defined regarding in-vehicle systems for third party eCall service, although interoperability and user
choice are significant aspects for fair competition in the European Service Market.
1
According to Regulation (EU) 2015/758 , open choice for users and fair competition should be ensured,
as well as innovation should be encouraged, in order to boost the competitiveness of the European
Union's information technology industry in the global market.
This document provides specification for such interoperability.
NOTE It is recognized that some vehicle manufacturers and service providers may not want or are unable to
participate in such an open market. This document is therefore developed for voluntary use by parties who may
wish to participate in an open market for service provision.

1 Scope
This document provides a description for voluntarily consenting vendors (subsequently referred to as
'participating service providers’), who wish to provide TPS-eCall service in an open market environment,
where users can select and change the service provider. It focusses on the use case 'TPS-eCall service', as
standardized in EN 16102, only (and for clarification, does not apply in respect of 112-eCall, where no
TPS provider is involved.)
The document determines the preconditions, requirements and functional means needed in order that
users of a TPS-eCall service can choose and change her/his preferred service provider (TPSP) out of a
range of available TPSPs, who are participating in the open market provisions determined in this
specification.
Outside the scope of this document are:
a) any commercial considerations (e.g. whether the service is offered for free or a charged service or
part of a commercial service package offer),
b) any contractual considerations (e.g. how a service contract between an user and a TPSP is
established),
c) any IT-security related issues in conjunction with the TPS in-vehicle system,
d) any considerations regarding communication costs (for voice and data) related to the TPS-eCall
service
e) any PSAP related considerations (towards the PSAPs there is no impact related to provider change,
since any TPSP needs to negotiate acceptance of its service offering with the PSAPs in the countries
where the service is provided, before such service can be provided).

5 User-oriented considerations
5.1 basic consumer principles
TPS-eCall is a private commercial service, offered by independent service providers (e.g. car insurance
companies, automobile clubs, insurers and other commercial companies), and vehicle manufacturers
(OEMs), who offer a TPS-eCall service as paid service, a free service, a member benefit, or other
contractual benefit.
While some TPS service providers tie their service provision to other considerations, it is expected that a
number of service providers have interest to operate in an ‘open service’ environment, where the user
may change TPS service provider (for example a member of an automobile club may wish to change his
TPS-eCall service provision to another automobile club, or perhaps to the vehicle insurer, if the user sees
benefit in so doing). End users usually have basic needs which relate a product respectively to the benefit
of a required service. In general, the following basic principles may be identified as requirements for a
competitive single market:
a) User choice;
b) Fair competition;
c) Data protection.
11

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

SIST-TS CEN/TS 17313:2019
CEN/TS 17313:2019 (E)
These basic principles are broadly accepted and agreed between major key stakeholders in the fields of
Automotive sector and ITS and underpin Regulation (EU) 2015/758 Recital 16. “In order to ensure open
choice for users and fair competition, as well as encourage innovation and boost the competitiveness of the
Union's information technology industry on the global market, the eCall in-vehicle systems should be based
on an interoperable, standardised, secure and open-access platform for possible future in-vehicle
applications or services. As this requires technical and legal back-up, the Commission should assess without
delay, on the basis of consultations with all stakeholders involved, including vehicle manufacturers and
independent operators, all opt
