Research/Project Description
CVIS
CVIS aims to design, develop and test new technologies needed to allow vehicles to communicate with each other and with the nearby roadside infrastructure.
The project’s ambition is to begin a revolution in mobility for travellers and goods, completely re-engineering how drivers, their vehicles, the goods they carry and the transport infrastructure interact. In this way, CVIS will increase road safety and efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of road transport. Concretely, CVIS will develop:
- A standardised networking terminal enabling vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication
- Techniques for enhancing vehicle positioning and improving local dynamic maps, using Galileo and the latest methods for location referencing
- New systems for cooperative traffic and network monitoring for use both in vehicle and roadside equipment, to detect incidents instantly and anywhere
- A range of innovative cooperative applications for driver assistance, traffic management, mobility services and commercial and freight transport.
- A toolkit addressing key non-technical challenges to deployment.

Research/Project Description
eCall
eCall is a project of the European Commission intended to bring rapid assistance to motorists involved in a collision anywhere in the European Union. The projects aims to employ a hardware black box installed in vehicles that will wirelessly send airbag deployment and impact sensor information, as well as GPS coordinates to local emergency agencies. eCall builds on E112.
Many of the stakeholder companies involved with telematics technology have membership in ERTICO or ACEA. An advantage of this membership is increased ability to influence developing eCall standards.
Sponsoring Organizations/Researchers
European commision - The project is also supported by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), an interest group of European automobile, bus and truck manufacturers, and ERTICO, a nonprofit organization promoting the implementation of intelligent transportation systems and service providers in Europe.
