Principles of in vehicle sensors in case of emergency

Embitel technologies an Embedded Software Company from Bangalore has helped enable an emergency help system that would notify the authorities based on the eCall specifications. This feature works on the principle that the in vehicle sensors would detect an accident and inturn activate the in-vehicle eCall system which would establishes a voice connection directly with the relevant PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point).

The eCall can be generated either manually –by the vehicle occupants- or automatically via activation of in-vehicle sensors when an accident occurs. When activated, the in-vehicle eCall system sends a minimum set of data (MSD) – including key information about the accident such as time, location and vehicle description – is sent to the PSAP operator. It is built on the SST230 Micro-controller core platform and uses the IAR/ CodeSourcery GNU TOOLCHAIN. Furthermore, it is an embedded product engineering solution with in-built network access device(NAD). For connectivity it has in built SIM and In-band data modem solution for sending MSD. For uninterrupted connectivity it comes with its own backup power supply.It has GPS, Bluetooth and CAN integrated. Embitel is a leading embedded software company in Bangalore offering product engineering services and complete turnkey solutions for companies across Europe, USA and India.
