Abstract
The European in-vehicle 112 emergency call system eCall
aims to reduce the number of road traffic fatalities in
Europe. At present, the standards of eCall are being
validated as part of the European HeERO project
(Harmonised eCall European Pilot), and member states of
the EU have also been
advised to prepare for mandatory deployment of eCall. We
outline the national implementation roadmap for eCall in
Finland. In addition to information specific to Finland,
the roadmap takes into account research results,
regulation and other documents published at the European
level. The roadmapping methods used in the study have
certain limitations such as a tendency to assume linear
development, technical and rational focus and implicit
certainty assumed for events. These limitations have to
be taken into account when utilizing the roadmap for the
planning of activities or other purposes. The roadmap
will have to be updated once the final results of the
HeERO project become available, European-level
regulations related to the deployment of eCall have been
completed, and the update to the information system of
Finnish public safety answering points is closer to
completion
