Crashed Cars to Text Message for Help
This may be connected to the post below on enhanced 999 service: technologists in UK are demontsrating a new car-based device called E-merge, which automatically sends an SMS to the local emergency operator when a vehicle crashes, giving the precise location, model, colour and licence plate number in the local language of the country where the accident occurred [New Scientist]. The device includes a cellphone circuit, a GPS positioning unit, and a microphone and loudspeaker. It registers the severity of the crash by reading the deceleration data from the airbag's sensor. Using GPS information, it works out which country the car is in, and from this it determines in which language to compose an alert message detailing the precise location of the accident. |
