Adrian Scrase, ETSI
GSC-18 Meeting, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis, France

ETSI prepares standards which:
•
Help prevent emergency situations from occurring
•
Help alert those who need to be informed when an emergency situation has occurred
•
Help manage emergency situations once they have occurred
Prevent Alert Manage

Prevent Alert Manage
GSC-18, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis 3

Wireless communications-related applications intended to increase travel safety and reduce road fatalities and injuries
•
Providing information on vehicles, their location and the road environment
•
Allowing vehicles to communicate with each other and/or with the infrastructure
Public Safety organizations receive vital information from vehicles
Cooperative ITS can be used on-board emergency vehicles
Main current features of co-operative road safety are
•
Vehicle status or types warnings (e.g. emergency electronic brake lights, emergency vehicle warning, vulnerable road user warning)
•
Traffic hazard warnings (e.g. stationary vehicle warning)
•
Dynamic vehicle warnings (e.g. pre-crash sensing warning)
•
Collision risk warning

Over 50 Use case scenarios

Global System for Mobile Communications – Railway (GSM-R)
•
This standard defines the use of GSM as a network for rail transport infrastructure operators
•
It is used for communication between trains and railway regulation control centres
•
GSM-R is implemented worldwide and has been mandated for use in the EU as the standard for high speed railway communications since
1997
•
LTE-R may be considered in a near future
Standard No.

eCall: automated call from vehicle to emergency services, based on 112 and including a Minimum Set of Data (MSD) such as location, vehicle type, etc
Standardization work complete (3GPP, ETSI, CEN) and stable, now in the implementation phase:
•
European eCall Implementation Platform hold regular meetings
•
New Europe to lead? High readiness in Romania, Croatia, Czech Republic
European Commission has:
•
Mandated Member States to upgrade Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) for eCall
•
Formally recommended mobile operators to support eCall
•
Made eCall necessary for type approval of vehicles from October 2015
GSC-18, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis 7

The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) is an integrated communications system using satellite and terrestrial radio to ensure coverage
The main GMDSS features for alerting are:
•
Emergency call: « classical VHF »
•
Digital Selective Calling (DSC): press red button during 5s to send an automatically formatted distress alert (including location, Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) of the boat) to the Coast Guard or other rescue authority via MF/HF/VHF maritime radio systems
•
Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) is automatically sending a message via satellite to an authority, when a ship is sinking
ETSI is active in a number of activities related to GMDSS

GSC-18, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis 8

People with disabilities need to successfully access emergency services
ETSI has produced a specification on “Total Conversation” whereby emergency services authorities may be alerted using video and real-time text in addition to audio (TS 101 470)
SMS for emergency calls
•
Delivery inconsistencies and delays are a factor
•
May lead to an increase in hoax calls
•
A number of European countries have implemented SMS for hearing impaired people, but under a pre-registration scheme
•
The future of SMS emergency calls in Europe is at present uncertain
GSC-18, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis 9

For emergency calls using traditional networks (fixed or mobile) the caller location information is readily available. This is not the case for VoIP services (such as Skype).
ETSI is responding to the European Mandate (M/493) in support of the location enhanced emergency call service
•
The aim of the mandate is to standardize the determination and transport of caller location information for VoIP including a single functional model, the necessary interfaces and protocols
•
This includes routing of the emergency call to the most appropriate PSAP and transmission of the location information of the caller
Work is underway
•
A functional architecture (e.g. identification of all interfaces) to determine the standardization work needed has been produced (ES 203 178)
•
The definition of protocols, based on the previous deliverable, has started (ES 203 283)
GSC-18, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis 10

The Public Warning System (PWS) is an emergency service that delivers alert messages to mobile devices using the Cell Broadcast
Service (CBS)
PWS was first defined to cope with natural disasters such as
Earthquakes and Tsunamis
It has now been generalized to cover other emergency situations
Cell Broadcast uses a dedicated signalling channel, different to that used for voice/data, and therefore not affected by network congestion
The European implementation is called EU-Alert
GSC-18, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis 11

European requirements:
•
Different interface languages have to be taken into account
•
No regulatory regime apart from an amendment of the Universal Service Directive in which the
Members States are asked to implement PWS
•
When implemented, the letters EU will be replaced by characters identifying a particular country , such as NL-ALERT for the Netherlands
•
The Netherlands is the first EU Member State to start EU-ALERT trials and will now move to implementation
•
UK, France, Belgium, Spain & Greece are currently investigating the possibility of deploying EU-
ALERT

Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) is a technology standardized by
ETSI and divided into three tiers:
•
Tier 1: License-exempt: direct mode, no infrastructure for consumers, and short range professionals
•
Tier 2: Licensed conventional: direct mode including infrastructure for business applications
•
Tier 3: Licensed trunked: for public safety and mission critical users
DMR was intended as a direct replacement of analogue PMR
•
It started with DMO but now also includes trunking capabilities
•
Further work needed to ensure interoperability
GSC-18, 22-23 July 2014, Sophia Antipolis 15

ETSI is preparing standards in the area of satellite emergency communication, in particular involving broadband services.
Scenarios covering the set-up of a temporary emergency communication cell based on Wifi,
VHF/UHF, WIMAX, GSM or TETRA which is then linked/backhauled to the permanent infrastructure by means of a bi-directional satellite link
This will form ETSI’s response to the European space mandate (M/496) to develop standards for the space industry, more particularly concerning disaster management

The standardization of Critical Communication systems is essential…
…and so is the participation of the wider Critical
Communications community in preparing those standards
Better knowledge sharing and collaboration is required between all stakeholders
Global solutions offer significant economy of scale advantages
Intelligent use of modern ICT technologies will help save lives
But, Prevention is always better than cure…..
