Sažetak
Contemporary society heavily depends on mobility, but transport entails severe problems, such as congestion at road networks and in urban areas, harmful effects on the environment and public health, waste of energy and, above all, accidents which cause fatalities, injuries and material damages. Location information, together with the mobile communications, enables a large number of telematics services like innovation-enhanced emergency call (eCall), in-vehicle navigation, Points of Interest (POI) services, vehicle tracking etc. The paper is analysing the European Union legislation on eSafety communication i.e. providing real-time information on road safety, eCall system, communication technologies for safe and intelligent vehicles. It is targeting the fact that early detection of traffic conditions and transmission of relevant data drivers makes significant contribution to improving road safety. In author’s opinion, a comprehensive approach on eSafety is meeting societal challenges and will enable harmonised solution to be found in removing the obstacles to market deployment, encouraging product demand and consensus building among the stakeholders.
