Why Choose BS EN 17184:2024?

The BS EN 17184:2024 standard is designed to meet the growing demands of modern transport systems. It provides a robust framework for implementing eCall systems, which are essential for reducing response times in emergencies and improving overall road safety. By utilizing the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), this standard ensures that communication protocols are not only efficient but also scalable and adaptable to future technological advancements.

Enhanced Safety

Safety is paramount in transport systems, and the BS EN 17184:2024 standard addresses this by providing detailed guidelines for eCall systems. These systems are designed to automatically alert emergency services in the event of an accident, providing critical information such as location and vehicle details. This rapid response capability can significantly reduce the time it takes for emergency services to arrive at the scene, potentially saving lives.

Advanced Communication Protocols

The use of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) over packet-switched networks ensures that communication is seamless and reliable. IMS is a key component in modern telecommunications, providing a framework for delivering IP multimedia services. By integrating IMS into eCall systems, the BS EN 17184:2024 standard ensures that communication is not only fast but also capable of handling the complex data requirements of modern transport systems.

Future-Proof Design

As technology continues to evolve, transport systems must be able to adapt to new challenges and opportunities. The BS EN 17184:2024 standard is designed with the future in mind, providing a flexible framework that can accommodate new technologies and innovations. This ensures that your systems remain at the cutting edge of transport safety and efficiency.

The BS EN 17184:2024 standard is essential for a wide range of stakeholders in the transport industry, including:

• Automotive manufacturers and suppliers
• Telecommunications companies
• Emergency services and response teams
• Transport infrastructure developers
• Regulatory bodies and government agencies

Conclusion

Incorporating the BS EN 17184:2024 standard into your transport systems is a strategic move towards enhancing safety, improving communication, and future-proofing your operations. With its comprehensive guidelines and cutting-edge protocols, this standard is an invaluable resource for anyone involved in the development and implementation of intelligent transport systems.

Stay ahead of the curve and ensure that your systems are equipped with the latest in eSafety and eCall technology by integrating the BS EN 17184:2024 standard into your operations.

BS EN 17184:2024

This standard BS EN 17184:2024 Intelligent transport systems. eSafety. eCall High level application protocols (HLAP) using IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) over packet switched networks is classified in these ICS categories:

• 35.240.60 IT applications in transport

In respect of pan European eCall (operating requirements defined in EN 16072), this document defines the high level application protocols, procedures and processes required to provide the eCall service via a packet switched wireless communications network using IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) and wireless access (such as LTE, NR and their successors). This document assumes support of eCall using IMS over packet switched networks by an IVS and a PSAP and further assumes that all PLMNs available to an IVS at the time an eCall or test eCall is initiated are packet switched networks. Support of eCall where eCall using IMS over packet switched networks is not supported by an IVS or PSAP is out of scope of this document. At some moment in time packet switched networks will be the only Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMN) available. However as long as GSM/UMTS PLMNs are available (Teleservice 12/TS12) ETSI TS 122 003 will remain operational. Both the use of such PLMNs and the logic behind choosing the appropriate network in a hybrid situation (where both packet-switched and circuit-switched networks are available) are out of scope of this document. NOTE 1 The objective of implementing the pan-European in-vehicle emergency call system (eCall) is to automate the notification of a traffic accident, wherever in Europe, with the same technical standards and the same quality of services objectives by using a PLMN (such as ETSI prime medium) which supports the European harmonized 112/E112 emergency number (TS12 ETSI TS 122 003 or IMS packet switched network) and to provide a means of manually triggering the notification of an emergency incident. NOTE 2 HLAP requirements for third party services supporting eCall can be found in EN 16102. This document makes reference to those provisions but does not duplicate them.
