ACCIDENT EMERGENCY CALL SYSTEMS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW NOW

The primary differences have to do with which GNSS Satellite constellation they have: GPS in USA, Galileo in Europe, GLONASS in Russia, IRNSS (NAVIC) in India, and QZSS in Japan.

Today, their AECSs include eCall in Europe, ERA-GLONASS in Russia, and AIS-144 in India. Other AECS regulations are currently underway in other countries.

In its search for AECS harmonization, the United Nations has adopted an approach and a regulation called UN Regulation No. 144 (UN R144). The World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (Authentic and legal binding text: ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2017/132) is the first UN regulation that deals with vehicle connectivity.

What is the Impact for the Automotive Ecosystem ?

Access to specific countries or regional automotive markets will require car manufacturers, Tier 1 and 2 Suppliers and testing certification centers to be compliant with UNR-144.

Basically, it means that your GNSS testing capabilities will have to be updated. And the answer to the question “when?” is … “now.” The UN regulation now aligns the ERA-GLONASS emergency call system used in the Russian Federation with the EU’s eCall, and may be used as an engine to add future GNSS constellations.

Orolia Simulators: Ahead of the Curve

At Orolia, our GNSS simulators are already eCall, AIS 140 and UNR-144 compliant.

With a GSG-5 unit, a simple hardware and software upgrade to a GSG-6 unit will unleash UNR-144 testing capabilities. With a GSG-6 unit, it is even easier: A simple software update performed locally will allow you to do UNR-144 testing and produce a simple but effective automated testing report.

Need a Hand ?

More and more, GNSS technologies are embedded into almost all industries, requiring significant expertise to qualify, benchmark and integrate these capabilities into a global testing framework. Delivering the best GNSS user experience to your customers often means hiring highly skilled professionals to support the automotive ecosystem.
