Abstract
AUTOMATIC SYSTEMS HAVE A GREAT SIGNIFICANCE, BUT THE SYSTEMS THAT REQUIRE AND USE ROBOTS’ CHARACTERISTICS ARE IMPORTANT AS WELL, ALLOWING AN EFFICIENT DIVERSITY REGARDING THEIR CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT. STATISTICS SHOW THAT IN EU, IN THE LAST 10 YEARS, ON AVERAGE OF APPROXIMATELY 40000 PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES EVERY SINGLE YEAR IN ROAD ACCIDENTS, WHILE ANNUAL FINANCIAL LOSSES WERE EVALUATED TO APPROXIMATIVELY 25 BILLION EURO. STUDIES REVEALED THAT THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF A ROAD ACCIDENT INCREASE EXPONENTIALLY WITH THE INCREASE OF THE TIME PAST BETWEEN THE IMPACT MOMENT AND INTERVENTION MOMENT. TODAY, IN EU, THE AVERAGE TIME TO INTERVENTION IS AROUND 30 MINUTES. IN ALL EU MEMBER STATES, A „SINGLE INTERVENTION SYSTEM FOR EMERGENCIES” IS IMPLEMENTED AND WORKING THAT IS CONNECTED TO 112 EMERGENCY NUMBER. IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE TIME BETWEEN IMPACT AND INTERVENTION CAN BE REDUCED UP TO 50% THROUGH THE USE OF E -CALL. THIS SYSTEM INVOLVES AUTOMATIC CONTACTING OF 112 IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, BY A DEVICE INSTALLED ON THE CAR (A ROBOT), AS WELL AS PRIORITY CONNECTION TO THE CLOSEST STATION OF 112 SYSTEM AND THE TRANSMISSION OF A MINIMAL SET OF USEFUL DATA FOR INTERVENTION. EU CURRENT REGULATION REQUIRES FROM 2017 THAT HOMOLOGATION OF VEHICLES, FOR SEVERAL TYPES OF VEHICLES, HAS TO BE DEPENDENT BY THE EXISTENCE AND FUNCTIONALITY OF SUCH TYPE OF ROBOT INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLES. THE ARTICLE PRESENTS THE SYSTEM FEATURES AND NEW FUNCTIONALITIES DEVELOPED IN IHEERO PROJECT BASED ON ECALL TECHNOLOGY.
