"I hope that this technology will be implemented quickly in order to save lives. The ‘eCall’ system, which is the result of research financed by the European Union, is a small device based on the use of in-vehicle sensors. In the event of a serious accident, this device automatically dials the European emergency number, 112. The vehicle’s location and direction and the time of the accident are transmitted directly to the public safety answering point. Member States must then be allowed to choose how they organise the routing of calls, for example, either via the intermediary of a sorting platform, which distinguishes emergency calls requiring public service from those requiring assistance to be met by a private service provider. A pan-EU eCall service would enable emergency services to save time: 40% in urban areas and 50% in rural areas, according to the European Commission. While 30 900 deaths and over 1.5 million injured persons were recorded on EU roads in 2010 and 2009 respectively, eCall would reduce the number of deaths by at least 4% and severe injuries by at least 6%."@en1
