Governments and agencies worldwide are setting increasingly demanding and strict rules and policies to enhance the security of both drivers and passengers. This has led to the adoption of emergency call systems – or e-call systems – that can automatically alert first-responder services whenever an accident or car breakdown occurs.
To enable this service, vehicles will need to be equipped with a module that can sense fault conditions, provide localization, communication and a voice interface with the vehicle’s occupants.
ST’s portfolio includes automotive grade sensors, GNSS receivers and application processors to help design the modules required to enable in-car e-call systems.
