Third eCall testfest announced

The third eCall testfest event, organised by 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.

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.

    Are co-operative systems and personal privacy mutually exclusive? Not necessarily, says Neil Hoose. But the more advanced the application, the greater the concession of privacy may have to become. ITS Stockholm in 2009 and the Cooperative Mobility Showcase event which took place alongside Intertraffic in Amsterdam in March this year both featured live, on-street demonstrations of safety and driver information applications that used Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communications,

    Despite much research and technological promise, progress towards cooperative infrastructure system deployment is still slow. Here, Robert Cone and John Miles take a considered look at how and when it might come about. From a systems engineering viewpoint it looks logical and inevitable that vehicles should be communicating between themselves and with the road infrastructure. But seen from a business viewpoint the case is not proven.
