Improving quality
The data that is transferred in
an emergency is also used by
the manufacturer of the vehicle
to improve product and service
quality.
Location determination
The position of the vehicle can
be determined exclusively by the
mobile phone network provider
based on the mobile phone site
locations. It is not possible for
the provider to trace a connec-
tion between the vehicle's VIN
and the phone number of the in-
stalled SIM card. Only the man-
ufacturer of the vehicle can link
a VIN and the phone number of
the SIM card installed in a partic-
ular vehicle.
Log data of emergency calls
The log data of emergency calls
is stored in a memory of the
vehicle. The oldest log data is
regularly deleted. The log data
includes, for example, information
on when and where an emer-
gency call was made. In excep-
tional cases, the log data can be
read out of the vehicle memory.
As a rule, log data is only read
out following a court order, and
this is only possible if the corres-
ponding devices are connected
directly to the vehicle.
Automatic emergency call
The system is designed so that,
following a sufficiently serious
accident, which is detected by
sensors in the vehicle, an emer-
gency call is automatically activ-
ated.
Sent information
When making an emergency call
using the intelligent emergency
call system, the system forwards
the same information to the des-
ignated emergency call centre as
is forwarded to the public emer-
gency operations centre by the
statutory emergency call system
eCall.
In addition, the intelligent emer-
gency call system sends the fol-
lowing additional information to
an emergency call centre com-
missioned by the vehicle man-
ufacturer and, if required, to the
emergency services:
Accident data, for example the
direction of impact detected
by the vehicle sensors, to as-
sist the emergency services
response.
Contact details, for example the
phone number of the installed
SIM card and the phone num-
ber of the rider, if available, to
enable rapid contact with those
involved in the accident if re-
quired.
