The third eCall testfest event, organised by 374 Ertico-ITS Europe and ETSI, will be held from 27 to 31 October 2014 in Vigo, Spain, hosted by CTAG in cooperation with CETECOM.

More than 30 vendors benefited from more than 300 test sessions to check the interoperability of their IVS or PSAP devices at the last test fest. With eCall now coming closer to the market, verifying the eCall chain and in particular compliance with eCall standard requirements through different tests is critical. This third eCall testfest event is a unique opportunity to check eCall implementation against other devices and eCall standards requirements.

The eCall testfest event enables vendors to run interoperability test sessions using test descriptions provided in approved guidelines. The event will bring more value with the debriefing sessions where experts can answer technical questions or solve interoperability issues. Additionally, compliancy and performance checking sessions will be scheduled to complement the interoperability tests.

    Martyn Harriss looks at what we can do to simplify the type approval of enforcement equipment in Europe. I doubt that there are many who can remember the days when policemen hid in the bushes with stopwatches and flags to catch speeding motorists - and I'd suggest that back then there were few who were caught who would have dared question the accuracy of those watches or those who operated them. Probably, fewer still here in Europe could have dreamt that a supranational body such as the European Union (EU)
