DGPS EMERGENCY LOCATION SYSTEM FOR VEHICLES

This paper describes an emergency location system under development which transfers an automatic alert message from a crashed vehicle via the emergency call center to rescue personnel. The alert is initiated by a crash sensor within the vehicle. In Stuttgart, the mobile part of the DGPS-based emergency location system has been integrated in several vehicles. The full system is being tested within a field trial of a DRIVE pilot project called STORM (Stuttgart Transport Operation by Regional Management). The results of these tests are summarized in this paper. The integration of the system into fleet management applications is also considered.
