DG eCall Steering group meetingBrussels November 2005
Content • Participants • Status of work • Open issues • Next step
Participants Confirmed • CEA • EurAPCo • Thomas Miller • Allianz AG Pending • ABI • GDV • RBS
Status of work • The BC 4 team is currently being built, a meeting needs to take place to set guidelines and organize work between members, exact date to be confirmed • Insurers welcome the initiative to improve emergency services efficiency and increase chances of saving lives as well as reducing the consequences of accidents • First assumptions are: • e-Call business-case looks to be positive for the public sector but return for Insurance industry is not obvious and needs in-depth studies to be assessed • If e-Call benefits can be proved for public sector, mandatory fitment by OEMs should be initiated by public institutions with or without public subsidy • Stand-alone e-Call initiative might not reduce insurance costs but extended usage of technology like stolen vehicle tracking or insurance process enhancements in general may enable more concrete returns (to be assessed) • E-Call is only one part of a series of measures with main focus on damage limitation, Insurers are also seeking for efforts in the prevention side
Open issues • Technical aspects: • Performance: • E-Call generator / transmitter • Voice and data carriers • Other infrastructures • PSAPs • Emergency services • On-board e-Call platform: • Bluetooth and/or nomadic devices • Device scalability • Buisiness model for Insurance sector: • Define range of potential applications (tracking, PAYD, Claims …) • Build corresponding business cases • Legal aspects: • System reliability / stability / maintenance • Liability in case of failure / service not delivered • cross-border cases / language issues • Role(s) of private Service Centers: • Enhanced service concept • Private PSAP concept
Next steps • Complete team building (by 09/12/2006) • Organize BC4 meeting (late 05 - early 06) • Agree on common approach • Set guidelines and organize work • Proceed with clarification paper • Proceed with Insurance business-case
