EDR data transmission page 377
When an emergency call is made, the legally
required data is transmitted to the emergency
coordination centre so that the necessary as-
sistance measures can be determined.
Vehicle location data is continuously overwrit-
ten. This means that the vehicle is not subject to
permanent monitoring.
The data related to the emergency call is only
processed to ensure the correct operation of
the emergency call system (eCall). The system
will automatically delete the data related to the
call a few hours after the call is activated.
The sent data includes:
●
The vehicle's current position at the time the
emergency call is activated.
●
Vehicle identification number (VIN)
●
Type of vehicle and type of drive.
●
Type of activation (automatic or manual).
●
Type of call.
●
Direction in which the vehicle was travelling
at the time the emergency call was activated.
●
Moment of the collision.
●
Estimated number of vehicle occupants.
Situations in which the emergency call serv-
ice may be restricted
●
The emergency call is made from an area
with weak or no mobile and GPS signal, as well
as e.g. tunnels, between very tall buildings, ga-
rages, underground walkways, mountains and
valleys.
