  1. Symposium on the Future Networked Car - 2014 Harmonized regulatory framework on Accident Emergency Call System developed by UNECE/WP.29 EdoardoGianotti, UNECE

  2. UN Regional Commission • 57 countries • Working Parties with global outreach • UNECE is the Centre of International Transport Agreements • Where governments make decisions

  3. Why a worldwide regulatory framework for vehicles is needed? Crucial need to update regulations constantly to cover new technologies and to harmonize internationally the technical requirements Governments regulated, in the past, these impacts by national legislation. Road Transport • Road safety • Security • Energy consumption and the environment

  4. Simplify international requirements ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE MY BOSS LAW CREATOR (WP29) WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ROADVEHICLE SAFETY ? MANUFACTURERS GOVERNMENT Type approval System (1958 Ag) or UNGTR (1998 Ag) TECHNICAL SERVICE Periodical technical Inspection (1997 Ag) SERVICE Me DRIVER PTI UNECE/WP.29 aims at simplifying and harmonizing worldwide requirements for vehicle safety through its Agreements

  5. UNECE/WP.29 administers 3 UN Agreements The 1958 Agreement on the construction of new vehicle (1959): 132 Regulations continually updated to align with technical progress The 1998 Global (Parallel) Agreement on global technical regulations (2000): 14 Global Technical Regulations The 1997 Agreement on periodical technical inspections of vehicle in use(2001): RuleNo. 1 on emissions of pollutants Rule No. 2 for Roadworthiness

  6. UNECE/WP.29 structure Committee for the 1958 Agreement (AC.1)Committee for the 1998 Agreement (AC.3)Committee for the 1997 Agreement (AC.4) Committee for Coordination of Work (AC.2) World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) General Safety Environmental protection Active Safety Passive Safety Lighting and light-signalling (GRE) Brakes and running gear (GRRF) Passive safety (GRSP) Pedestrian protection Frontal/lateral impact protection Child restraint Truck cab strength General Safety (GRSG) Safety of wheelchair users in buses & coaches Glazing materials Rear view mirrors Pollution and Energy (GRPE) Noise (GRB) > 40 non-permanent technical groups

  7. Cars are becoming intelligent Advanced Driver Assistance Systems • Electronic Stability Control Systems • Cruise Control • On Board Diagnostic • Adaptive Front-Lighting Systems • Brake assist systems (BAS) • Lane Departure Warning system (LDW) • Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS)

  8. Need of fully interoperability of positioning systems (e.g. ERA-GLONASS, GPS, Galilelo) & of mobile telephone networks Save up to 2500 lives a year, speed up emergency response times by 40% in urban areas and 50% in the countryside (EU) New acronyms designated for marketing purpose for tech solutions could create confusion for users & prevent a future performance-based approach. • WP.29 agreed in June 2013 to develop a UN Regulation by Oct. 2014 • applicable worldwide Voluntary approach would not lead to a fast widespread eCall deployment, rather to services limited to some (high end) vehicles initially.

  9. Inland Transport Committee serviced by UNECE The UN Regulation on eCall within UNECE/WP.29 is being developed by countries promoting eCallsystems,in cooperation with the manufacturers

  10. Why a UN Regulation on Accident Emergency Call Systems (AECS) • WP.29 at its June 2013 session established a new informal working group (IWG) on Automatic Emergency Call System (AECS) chaired by the Russian Federation. • Task of the IWG : • Develop a UN Regulation (in the framework of the 1958 Agreement), • Target completion October 2014, • Technologically neutral provisions for AECS applicable worldwide. • The UN Regulation would be implemented in national legislation on e-call after its adoption by WP.29 and entry into force. • The UN Regulation would support any Global Navigation satellite system

  11. Essential elements • The draft UN Regulation consists of three parts: • Part I: e-Call devices; • Part II: installation on vehicles of approved e-Call devices • Part III: e-Call system (fully integrated e-Call) • Scope: passenger (M1) & small commercial (N1) category of vehicles

  12. Essential elements • Harmonization of Acronyms • “e-Call device (AECD)” refers to a device capable of: • determination of co-ordinates and direction of motion of a vehicle; • Emission of above information in case of severe accident; • bilateral voice communication with emergency services through mobile telephone networks. • “e-Call system (AECS)” refers to a fully integrated e-Call device.

  13. Outreach of the UN Regulation Once adopted a UN Regulationis a candidate global technicalregulation to 1998 Agreement: (US, Canada, China, India..) Final potentialoutreach of the Regulationsponsored by UNECE 1958 Agreement: 51 Contracting Parties

  14. Implementation of eCall UN Regulation The UN Regulation would be implemented successfully at the global level only if the surrounding vehicle environment is efficient

  15. Benefits of a UN Regulation • Satisfying environmental and safety regulations on a market-by-market basis is extremely expensive. • A UN Regulationwillsimplifyan exceedingly complex global “regulatory arena.” • A vehicle certified (T.A.) once, can be marketed everywhere (Principle of mutual recognition of T.A. of 1958 Agreement). • Set harmonizedtechnologicalneutral provisions fosteringleverage of costs. • An affordableeCall system for all vehiclecategorieswill help to save multiple lives and reduce road fatalities.
