Intelligent transport systems - eSafety - eCall via an ITS-station

In respect of 112-eCall (3.1) (operating requirements defined in EN 16072:2015), this Technical
Specification defines the high level application protocols (3.10), procedures and processes required to
provide the eCall service via an ISO 21217 compliant “ITS station unit”
NOTE 1 The objective of implementing the pan-European in-vehicle emergency call system (eCall) is to
automate the notification of a traffic accident, wherever in Europe, with the same technical standards and the
same quality of services objectives by using a 'Public Land Mobile Network' (PLMN) (such as ETSI prime medium)
which supports the European harmonized 112/E112 emergency number and to provide a means of manually
triggering the notification of an emergency incident.
NOTE 2 Requirements for third party services supporting eCall can be found in EN 16102 [6], and have been
developed in conjunction with the development of EN 16072:2015 and EN 16072:2015, and are consistent in
respect of the interface to the PSAP. This technical specification applies only to 112-eCall (3.1) service provision
and makes no specifications in respect of third party eCall service provision, and the reader is referred to
EN 16102 [6] for any third party eCall specifications.

Introduction
As a result of European Regulation, from 2018, all new model Class M1/N1 vehicles (3.13) will be
equipped with112-eCall (3.1). Other model class M1/N1 vehicles may be voluntarily equipped with
112-eCall (3.1), and work is underway to provide the benefit of eCall to other classes of vehicle,
including commercial vehicles (3.5), busses and coaches.
In the event of an incident, in-vehicle sensors will automatically trigger a 112-eCall (3.1), or it may be
manually triggered by the vehicle occupants. A voice connection is established with the European
emergency number 112 and routed to the most appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (3.15)
(PSAP). As soon as the connection is established, in the case of a GSM/UMTS connection, using circuit
switched networks, a “Minimum set of data” (3.14) (as defined in EN 15722), providing information
such as the time, location, vehicle VIN number, and driving direction, is sent as data via the voice
channel. With the advent of packet switched, IP addressed, networks, a variant has been developed, that
establishes an IMS connection (IMS supports IP multimedia applications (3.4) via IP multimedia
sessions over a multitude of IP Connectivity Access Networks, such as E-UTRAN, UTRAN, GERAN, LAN,
DOCSIS®, WiMAX™, cdma2000® and DVB-RCS2 access) in which the MSD is part of the SIP message
header, so is already available to the PSAP as soon as the communication link is established.
The cooperative ITS (C-ITS) environment is one where ITS station units (ITS-SUs) (e.g. in vehicles, at the
roadside,.) securely cooperate to exchange data with other ITS-SUs using wireless communications
technologies. The C-ITS approach provides for hybrid communications (3.11), i.e. simultaneous
availability of multiple wireless communications technologies. There is already provision for such
networks at 5,8 GHz (widely already used for road tolling and soon to be used for tachograph
monitoring and weigh in motion monitoring), 5,9 GHz for road safety applications (3.4), and of course
the packet switched cellular networks mentioned above. In the future, 60 GHz and other wireless
networks may be employed.
The key to managing these cooperative systems is an ITS station and communications architecture
which enables operation of ITS applications (3.4) in a managed, secure, and prioritized way. This is
support of a functionality rather than a specification of a single black box, and may be achieved in
different ways within e.g. vehicle ITS-SUs. The common functionality is defined in ISO 21217:2014
(Intelligent transport systems – Communications access for land mobiles (CALM) – Architecture) whose
abstract defines “ISO 21217:2014 describes the communications reference architecture of nodes called
“ITS station units” designed for deployment in intelligent transport systems (ITS) communication
networks. The ITS station reference architecture is described in an abstract way. While ISO 21217:2014
describes a number of ITS station elements, whether or not a particular element is implemented in an ITS
station unit depends on the specific communication requirements of the implementation.
ISO 21217:2014 also describes the various communication modes for peer-to-peer communications over
various networks between ITS communication nodes. These nodes may be ITS station units as described in
ISO 21217:2014 or any other reachable nodes.
ISO 21217:2014 also specifies the minimum set of normative requirements for a physical instantiation of
the ITS station based on the principles of a bounded secured managed domain.”
Within vehicles equipped to support this context, it is appropriate to consider eCall as a priority ITS
application (3.4) that can use this in-vehicle functionality, rather than duplicate the in-vehicle
equipment.
This Technical Specification provides the specifications enabling 112-eCall (3.1) to function via an
ISO 21217 complaint “ITS-station unit”. (ITS-SU).

6 General overview of the eCall session for 112-European eCall via an ISO 21217
compliant ITS station unit
6.1 Pan European eCall
In the introduction to EN 16072:2015, eCall is described as:
“an emergency call generated either automatically via activation of in-vehicle sensors or manually by the
vehicle occupants (the eCall generator); when activated, it provides notification and relevant location
information to the most appropriate Public Safety Answering Point, by means of mobile wireless
communications networks and carries a defined standardized minimum set of data, notifying that there
has been an incident that requires response from the emergency services and establishes an audio channel
between the occupants of the vehicle and the most appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).”
A Minimum set of data (3.14) (MSD) to be provided to the PSAP in the eCall message is specified in
EN 15722:2015.
6.2 eCall via circuit switched networks
In ETSI/3GPP circuit switched networks the eCall is identified as ‘an emergency call with a specific
service category’. The long number is not dialled as the teleservice identifiers inform the mobile
network operator (MNO) that the call is an emergency call/eCall and the MNO has procedures to direct
these calls to “the most appropriate” PSAP. Having established a voice channel, GSM/UMTS eCall then
mutes microphones and speakers and uses a modem to transfer the MSD to the PSAP by sending
acoustic data down the voice channel, before opening up the line to enable conversation between the
PSAP operator and the occupants of the vehicle (see EN 16062:2015)
11

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

SIST-TS CEN/TS 17182:2019
CEN/TS 17182:2018 (E)
The high level paradigm for eCall via an ITS-station remains unchanged, and the provision of this
service using a circuit teleservice supported by a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) (Teleservice
12/TS12) ETSI TS 122 003, will remain operational and viable for many years – indeed for as long as
GSM/UMTS PLMNs are available.
6.3 eCall using SIP and IMS (IMS-eCall)
Technology advances, and subsequent to the development of the eCall application (3.4) suite

become available, and over the course of time, these packet switched networks (such as LTE/4G/E-
UTRAN) are expected to provide new PLMNs to complement and eventually replace the circuit switched

In a packet switched IMS environment, the eCall is established as an internet protocol based session
with the exchange of packets of data (which in this case, are largely packets of voice data), and the MSD
