One of the safety initiatives attempting to reduce the burden from the 1,100,000 injurious accidents occurring on the roads of Europe, each year, is the implementation of pan-European eCall. The core function of an eCall system is to notify the emergency services automatically and rapidly of a potentially injurious accident. The benefit of eCall arises through the reduction in response times for emergency services attending to the accident, thus helping to save lives and to treat injuries more rapidly. The European Commission (EC) has adopted a proposal for a regulation concerning type-approval requirements for the deployment of the eCall system. However, the delegated/implementing acts to this regulation, detailing technical requirements and test procedures for type-approval, do not exist as yet. This report documents, structures and assesses the available information which may offer support in developing the vehicle approval requirements and test procedures with respect to eCall in-vehicle systems. A comprehensive review was undertaken of all available relevant information which could be used as a basis for delegated/implementing acts supporting the Commission's proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning type-approval requirements for the deployment of the eCall in-vehicle system. This review forms the basis of the study and included sources from • proposals for EU, UN and Russian legislation; • European, Russian and international technical standards; • deliverables from research groups; and • position documents and statements provided by stakeholders
