Brief: With the frequency of traffic accidents, more and more countries are introducing mandatory safety requirements for vehicle emergency call systems, which require products to be certified before entering the corresponding country.
INTRODUCTION TO THE EMERGENCY CALL SYSTEM
Emergency call system is an automatic emergency call system for motor vehicles. The purpose of the in-vehicle system is to automatically or manually send a call for help to the public answering platform when the vehicle encounters a traffic accident or the occupants encounter an unexpected situation, which can provide information such as the location of the vehicle, shorten the time for emergency rescue in an accident by initiating rescue operations more quickly, reduce casualties and traffic congestion and reduce medical costs.
GLOBAL EMERGENCY CALL SYSTEM REGULATIONS
Wp.29: As of 19 July 2018, the emergency call system regulation UN R144 entered into force, and the parties to this regulation include Russia, Japan, Korea, etc..
European Union (EU): As of 31 March 2018, new M1,N1 mass approved models must be equipped with 112-based eCall that complies with Regulation (EU) 2015/758 and obtains EC type approval.
Eurasian Economic Union: From November 11, 2018, the Eurasian economy (including Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan) requires all types of M and N vehicles to be forced to install the ERA-Glonass emergency call system in accordance with regulation TP TC 018/2011 Or emergency call equipment.
India: With effect from April 1, 2019, all passenger vehicles such as taxis and buses will be required to be equipped with AIS 140 Tracker.
