Crashed Cars to Text for Help
There is no good place to have a car crash—but some places are worse than others. In a foreign country, for instance, 29 to explain via cellphone that you are upside down in a ditch when you cannot speak the local language can fatally delay the arrival of the emergency services.
But an answer may be at hand. Researchers funded by the European Commission are beginning tests of a system called E-merge that 30 senses when a car has crashed and sends a text message telling emergency services in the local language that the accident has taken place.
The system was 31 by ERTICO, a transport research organization based in Brussels, Belgium. Cars are fitted with a cellphone-sized device attached 32 the underside of the dashboard which is activated by the same sensor that triggers the airbag in a crash. The device 33 a cellphone circuit, a GPS positioning unit, and a microphone and loudspeaker.
It registers the severity of the crash by 34 the deceleration data from the airbag’s sensor. Using GPS information, it works out which country the car is in, and from this it determines 35 which language to compose an alert message detailing precise location of the accident.
The device then automatically makes a call to the local emergency services 36 . If the car’s occupants are conscious, they can communicate with the operator 37 the speaker and microphone.
E-merge also transmits the vehicles make, model, color and license number, and its heading when it crashed, which in turn indicates on which side of a multi-lane highway it ended up.
This 38 the emergency services find the vehicle as soon as they arrive on the scene, "we can waste a large 39 time searching for an incident," says Jim Hammond, an expert in vehicle technology at the Association of Chief Police Officers in the UK. Tests will begin soon with police car fleets in the UK. Trials have already started in Germany, Sweden, Spain, the Netherlands and Italy.
In-car systems that summon the emergency services after a crash have 40 beenfitted in some premium cars. ERTICO says that if EU states are willing to fund the necessary infrastructure, E-merge could be working by 2008.
A study by French car maker Renault concluded that the system could save up to 6,000 fo the 40,000 lives lost each year on Europe’s roads, and prevent a similar number of serious injuries.
The Renault study estimates that fitting E-merge to every car in Europe would eventually save around 150 billion per year in terms of reduced costs to health services and insurance companies, and fewer lost working days. [br]
