eCall / ERA-GLONASS Conformance Testing

Application Notes

eCall / ERA-GLONASS is an in-vehicle road safety system that triggers an emergency call to the nearest emergency center in the event of a serious road accident. The intention is to reduce fatalities, injuries or property loss by speeding up the response times from a rescue team. This application note describes the fundamentals of an eCall / ERA GLONASS system, common test challenges of the in-vehicle system (IVS) module and how to overcome these challenges with the Keysight Technologies, Inc. E6950A eCall conformance test solution. It will also explore the next generation eCall (NG-eCall) system and outline the differences from the current eCall service.
