16 Accident Causation Data (2) Chair: M. Hollingsworth,, ACEA 3) Next steps 3) Next steps Collect examples of as many of the existing databases as possible Consider which are the existing databases which can be consolidated Define interrogation models for the consolidated data The data will be incomplete - but should not be used as an excuse for not to analyze the impact of possible countermeasures esafety Forum 22 April

17 ecall (1) Chair: P. d Oultremont, Belgacom 1) Progress so far ecall reconfirmed as the number one priority for esafety ecall and Business Rationale Working Groups working closely together Focus on ecall functional model and role of partners (automotive industry, PSAPs, telecom operators, service providers) Reference to existing ecall systems (public, private) and on-going work (E-112, EMERGE) 2) The target To produce, by the end of the year, an ecall functional model for an European solution esafety Forum 22 April
