TIA – Shields – ITS GSC-9, Seoul 2 Automatic Crash Notification (ACN) An Automatic Crash Notification (ACN) is a –Data message –Generated automatically by in-vehicle equipment when a crash is sensed ACN is different from E-call E-call is a voice call initiated by a person E-call should work the same regardless of call origin –Personal cell phone (in or out of vehicle) –Embedded phone in the vehicle No reason for vehicle manufacturers, vehicle systems, or telematics providers to be in this delivery chain

TIA – Shields – ITS GSC-9, Seoul 3 ACN Handling Automatic wireless data message Voice calls ACN service center emergency services PSAP

TIA – Shields – ITS GSC-9, Seoul 4 Implications of ACN Vehicle manufacturers have to arrange for an ACN service center to –Receive / interpret messages –Call the appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) Vehicle manufacturer and its agents are like 3 rd party crash observers who call 9-1-1, 1-1-2, etc. Once switched on, ACN can’t be switched off for nonpayment of subscription fees

TIA – Shields – ITS GSC-9, Seoul 5 Communications Implications To keep wireless costs low –Do not require vehicle data communications devices to register until they have a message to send –Allow ACN data messages to be sent without registering In areas of poor coverage –Allow ACN data messages to be sent at very high power on multiple frequencies These items have been proposed to ETSI
