- Demand for automotive emergency call (eCall) system is attributed to a rise the demand for enhanced safety in vehicles. Several automakers including, Ford Motors, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo, Audi and BMW are incorporating the automotive emergency call system in their vehicles across different models.
- Automotive emergency call systems comprise an automated voice response that would be delivered to an emergency service provider via an auto call on an emergency number. An automated call is generated in response to either the deployment of airbags in vehicles, a vehicle crash, or vehicle breakdown. Furthermore, other information including vehicle geo-coordinates, vehicle model, and vehicle diagnostic information is sent over SMS through established communication to emergency service providers including medical, fire, and car service centers. This, in turn, enables the responsible organizations to deploy necessary help to the location of the vehicle crash.
