The entire transport sector is experiencing disruption on a global scale due to number of drivers. These include the drivers technology, changes in governance structures, range environmental challenges, and need provide mobility accessibility regardless social status or income level. To realize socio-economically worthwhile investments system, particularly where new technologies are involved, fresh views economy investment needed. This paper explores relationship between business models,...

What is the status of in-vehicle emergency call services? Which standards are being adopted? Does NG-911/112 architecture support such The objective this article to address these questions. To do so we review evolution eCall, compare approaches developed in different parts world, and discuss interoperability between selected systems. This study shows that it challenging classify systems because standards, terminologies, proprietary specifications. We conclude framework provides building...

The main contribution of this research is the evaluation emerging technological opportunities for improving risk awareness and resilience vulnerable people in disasters. considered a survey, end-user evaluation, co-creative workshops on technologies was targeted to estimate innovation potential, usefulness, importance, applicability, risks people, ethical acceptability. capabilities Mobile Positioning Data tool (1) increase rescue planning emergency management cyber-hazard situations (2)...

European in‐vehicle emergency call system eCall aims to save lives and mitigate consequences of road accidents. minimum set data (MSD) which contains information on the accident vehicle is transmitted in beginning voice channel opened between public safety answering point. The main objectives study are analyse successfulness MSD transmission Finnish fixed‐line GSM networks provide factors contribute success rate transmission. results Wilcoxon rank sum test indicated that signal strength has...

This study analyses the reliability of an in‐vehicle warning system developed in Finland during 2008–2010. The is based on positioning trains using GPS, calculation states level crossings a server and equipment that retrieves information about from server. Information very relevant for accurate estimation impacts estimating potential improvements to it. starts with description under analysis, continues by defining concept provides estimate user point view. To achieve this objective, defines...

The objective of this study is to analyse the interoperability between pan‐European eCall and Russian ERA‐GLONASS in‐vehicle emergency call systems. analysis based on a definition from International Telecommunication Union related system standards ERA‐GLONASS. authors results indicate that core functions both systems – minimum set data (MSD) transmission at start establishing voice connection vehicle occupants public safety answering point will be available in interworking scenarios analysed...

eCall is the European in-vehicle emergency call system. The functionality required for an service heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) largely similar to cars and vans. specific requirements HGVs include communicating information about cargo carried by vehicle public safety answering point (PSAP) finding a suitable triggering mechanism automated HGVs. paper summarises HGV drafts three architectural solutions providing PSAP access on vehicle: multi-party approach, proxy distributed system with...

Developments in the fields of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and Cooperative ITS (C-ITS) are continuous new innovative technological solutions for provision more accurate trustworthy feedback employed on a regular basis. The last decade, European Union has funded than 140 million euros research C-ITS technologies through HORIZON 2020 funding mechanism. Taking into account significance technologies, frameworks CAPITAL project, an knowledge database been introduced order common framework...

Weather-related information and warnings are typically distributed to road users via mass media such as television, radio Internet. The socio-economic benefits of these services should be known at least approximately before major decisions made on service provision related investments. This study presents a method for estimating likely range safety impacts obtained with weather-related warning available the benefits. theoretical framework behind model is principle that number accidents...

The demand for four intelligent vehicle safety systems (IVSSs) – emergency braking, speed alert, blind spot monitoring and lane keeping support is analysed by constructing their curves (demand as a function of product price) based on data available from user interviews literature study. study also provides method linear exponential the gathered interviews. estimated were tested least‐squares fitting to collected mean absolute error was consistently larger all studied here when using instead...

The aim of this research was to evaluate the new procurement practices information and communication technology (ICT) services in Finnish-speaking schools City Kauniainen. In model, define their needs school administration mandates through tendering. included a review problems associated with assessment model. results show that service levels have been improved unit costs as well environmental load reduced. model requires skills expertise competencies prepare execute process. case analysis...

Abstract The paper presents an approach for analysing network effects in cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS). is based on the conditional probability of already-equipped user receiving a warning or other required information, and framework provided successful exchange information. are validated by applying them to road hazard use case C-ITS implemented with vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication. results suggest that even relatively low fleet penetrations may allow...

The objective of the study is to estimate realised safety effects electronic stability control (ESC) in Finland current context. modelling impacts was based on a framework which outcomes accidents are determined by exposure road users, accident risk and severity. Exposure modelled three ways: (i) calculating share passenger cars equipped with ESC mathematical model, (ii) basis an fleet penetration obtained from survey targeted car importers (iii) taking into account weighted annual...

This work provides a general overview of the main findings two European projects, HeERO and HeERO2 aimed at facilitating implementation eCall in-vehicle emergency call service in Europe. The representatives 15 Member States (MS) participated project's activities with objective to demonstrate functioning eCall. projects identified several layers that form value chain. Based on these layers, questionnaire was prepared presented MS identify barriers enablers country level. results survey were...

The European in-vehicle 112 emergency call system eCall aims to reduce the number of road traffic fatalities in Europe. At present, standards are being validated as part HeERO project (Harmonised Pilot), and member states EU have also been advised prepare for mandatory deployment eCall. We outline national implementation roadmap Finland. In addition information specific Finland, takes into account research results, regulation other documents published at level. roadmapping methods used study...

We analyse the characteristics of early adopters two intelligent vehicle safety systems, emergency braking and speed alert. Car users’ experiences with systems were studied an online survey organised in five European countries: Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Spain. All variables related to user – gender, age, kilometres driven annually monthly household income had a statistically significant relationship using braking. Gender, For both male drivers more likely be first users...
