eSafety - the Target and the Challenge

• eSafety where business meets the public good
• Safety as a strategic driver business and
  policy
• Synergetic roles for private and public sectors -
  but how ?
• Driven by value customer, society, policy
  makers
• Viable business case for private sector
• Services for everyone - safety benefit
  - mass market and scale for industry
• Services across border, networks, (and brands ?)
• Multi-vendor market equipment and services

8
What Should We Do ?

• Technology
• Standard vehicle-infrastructure interface
• Standard vehicle-vehicle interface
• Open modular in-vehicle architecture
• Decouple telematics and vehicle life cycles
  - Ability to use multiple media existing
  and new (GSM, UMTS, RDS, DAB)
  - Integrating stand-alone private public
  applications to reduce terminal service
  cost - Entry-level and high-end
  terminals
• Standard interface between content providers and
  telematics control centre
• Frequency and bandwidth allocation for DAB

9
What Should We Do ?

• Content Information Network
• Public authorities role to provide DB for road
  safety attributes
• Data collection by FCD across Europe both
  public and private
• Create FCD data pools accessible by public and
  private sectors
• Define interfaces to link (local) content
  providers into a virtual European network
• Operational and contractual procedures for data
  access and exchange
• Other points ?

10
What Should We Do ?

• Deployment Issues
• Legal conditions - For accessing and
  exchanging data, including public authority
  data- Public authorities to treat e-call as an
  emergency call- Call handling of e-call by
  private sector- Legal liability where vehicle
  control is implied- Privacy protection for
  location-based services (?)

11
What Should We Do ?

• Deployment Issues
• Organisation and Business aspects - Business
  model for e-call need PA investment in
  service chain - Incentives to accelerate
  deployment (tax breaks?)- Effective
  organisation to decrease business cost (data
  pools, e-call centres, etc)- What partnership
  model ? (licencing, JV, etc)

12
What Should We Do ?

• Deployment Issues
• System and service definition- Move from
  national to European focus essential for
  mobility and market start- Public authorities
  should actively input their requirements for
  public applications (eg speed, road charging,
  etc.)

13
What Should We Do ?

• Deployment Issues
• Interaction vehicles, infrastructure, drivers-
  Co-existence between equipped and non-equipped
  vehicles- Compatibility across Europe-
  Requirements on the infrastructures- Drivers
  load/distraction- Education of drivers
