Popis: The European eSafety initiative aims to improve the safety and efficiency of road transport. The main element of eSafety is the pan European eCall project - an in-vehicle system which idea is to inform reliably and automatically about road collisions and even very serious accidents. As estimated by the European Commission, the implemented system will reduce services’ response time by 40%. This would probably save 2,500 people a year. In 2015 the European Parliament adopted the legislation that from the end of March 2018 all new cars sold in EU should be equipped with the eCall system. The limitation of this idea is that only a small part of cars driven in UE are sold yearly (about 3.7% cars in 2015). This paper presents the details of concept of an on-board eCall device which can be installed at the owners’ request in used vehicles. Proposed system will be able to detect a road accident, indicate the number of vehicle’s occupants and send those information to dedicated emergency services via duplex communication channel. This paper presents (1) the basis of the system, (2) the details on accident detection algorithms and hardware used experimentally and (3) state of the art and chosen approach for human detection in vehicle environment.
