What is BS EN 15722 - Intelligent transport systems about?
BS EN 15722 is an international standard that focuses on Intelligent transport systems.
BS EN 15722 specifies the standard data concepts that comprise the "Minimum Set of Data" (MSD) to be transferred from a vehicle to a 'Public Safety Answering Point' (PSAP) in the event of a crash or emergency via an 'eCall' communication transaction.
BS EN 15722 specifies requirements for in-vehicle emergency call, 'eCall' service to ensure public safety. Optional additional data concepts may also be transferred as part of the MSD.
Who is BS EN 15722 - Intelligent transport systems for?
BS EN 15722 on e-Safety Intelligent transport systems is useful for:

- Traffic regulation authorities
- Vehicle manufacturing companies
- Emergency service centres
Why should you use BS EN 15722 - Intelligent transport systems?
Emergency calls made from vehicles or mobile telephones using wireless technologies can assist with the objectives of significantly reducing road deaths and injuries, but drivers often have poor (imprecise) location awareness, especially on interurban roads or abroad. Additionally, in many situations, the car occupants may not be in a position to call using a normal mobile phone.
BS EN 15722 states that an 'eCall', is estimated to have the potential to save up to 2500 fatalities annually in the EU when fully deployed, and furthermore it helps users to reduce the severity of injuries, to bring significant savings to the society in and to reduce human suffering.
BS EN 15722 can be described as a "user instigated or automatic system eCall, in the context of "Intelligent Transport Systems" or "ITS" in order to provide the users with notification to public safety answering points about a vehicle crash, by means of wireless communications, and to provide coordinates and a defined minimum set of data, and where possible a voice link to the PSAP”.
BS EN 15722 serves the objective of implementing the in-vehicle emergency call system (eCall), to automate the notification of a traffic accident, wherever in the European Union and associated countries, with the same technical standards and the same quality of services objectives of other emergency services.
BS EN 15722 specifies the "Minimum Set of Data" (MSD) to be transferred by such an in-vehicle eCall system in the event of a crash or emergency.
