What is PD CEN/TS 17249-5-Intelligent transport systems about?
PD CEN/TS 17249-5 is an international standard that covers all the aspects of the intelligent transport system. PD CEN/TS 17249-5 defines adaptations to eCall specifications that are defined in EN 16072 and other related documents to enable the provision of eCall for powered two-wheel vehicles (vehicle centred), with respect to 112-eCall.
PD CEN/TS 17249-5 includes only the requirements for Category L1 and L3 powered two-wheel vehicles (vehicle-based) with the exception of L1e-A (powered cycle). (Note that the categories L1 to L7 include 2-, 3-, and 4-wheel types e.g., motorcycles, tricycles, and quadricycles.)
Note: The provision of eCall for vehicles via the aftermarket (post-sale and registration) will be the subject of other work, and in respect of the operational requirements for any such aftermarket solutions for powered two-wheel vehicles (vehicle centred), will use the specifications of PD CEN/TS 17249-5 as a principle reference point.
Who is PD CEN/TS 17249-5-Intelligent transport systems for?
PD CEN/TS 17249-5 on eCall for L1 and L3 powered two-wheeled vehicles is useful for:
- Manufacturers of two-wheeler vehicles
- eCall equipment manufacturers and suppliers
- Regional Transport Office(RTO)
- Transport companies
- Government Traffic authorities
- Transport and Highway authorities
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 17249-5-Intelligent transport systems?
Powered two-wheel vehicle (vehicle-mounted) 112-eCall, using OEM systems included during the manufacture of the vehicle, present challenges to the eCall paradigm. In an accident, the rider is likely to be separated from the vehicle, usually by a considerable distance. An eCall equipment mounted on P2WVs is also subjected to far harsher environmental exposure than its in-car counterparts, and providing equipment, presents a significant problem.
PD CEN/TS 17249-5 takes these issues into account as a variation of the requirements specified for Category M1 and N1 vehicles by providing equipment to enable assistance responders to hear background sounds. It maintains other features that characterize eCall, as well as it also covers an optional additional data element that enables the PSAP to identify where voice communications are possible or not.
PD CEN/TS 17249-5 defines the additional high-level service requirements for making the provision of eCall to powered two-wheel vehicles of UNECE Category L1 and L3 (vehicle-mounted). These provisions are specified within the paradigm of being OEM fit equipment supplied with new vehicles, with the existing provisions for eCall for Category M1/N1 vehicles, and other specifications in this series.
