Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/79Show full title

Article 4 Definitions

For the purposes of this Regulation the following definitions shall apply:

(1)

‘vehicle type with regard to the installation of a 112-based eCall in-vehicle system’ means motor vehicles that do not differ in such essential respects as the characteristics of the integration within the vehicle as well as the functionality and capability of essential hardware deploying an in-vehicle emergency call.

(2)

‘type of 112-based eCall in-vehicle STU’ means a combination of specific hardware which does not differ in such essential respects as the characteristics, functionality and capability of deploying an in-vehicle emergency call when installed in a motor vehicle.

(3)

‘type of 112-based eCall in-vehicle system component’ means specific hardware which does not differ in such essential respects as the characteristics, functionality and capability of facilitating the deployment of an in-vehicle emergency call when integrated in a 112-based eCall in-vehicle STU or 112-based eCall in-vehicle system.

(4)

‘representative arrangement of parts’ means all parts required by the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system to successfully populate and transmit in an in-vehicle emergency call the minimum set of data referred to in the standard EN 15722:2015 ‘Intelligent transport systems — eSafety — eCall minimum set of data’ (‘MSD’) including the control module, the power source, the mobile network communication module, the Global Navigation Satellite System receiver and the external Global Navigation Satellite System antenna and their connectors and wiring;

(5)

‘control module’ means a component of the e-Call in-vehicle system designed to ensure the combined functioning of all modules, components and features of the system;

(6)

‘power source’ means the component that supplies power to the 112-based e-Call in-vehicle system, including a back-up source if fitted, which feeds the system after the test referred to in point 2.3 of Annex I;

(7)

‘eCall log file’ means any record generated at the moment of an automatic or manual eCall activation which is stored within the internal memory of the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system and consists only of the MSD;

(8)

‘Global Navigation Satellite System’ (‘GNSS’) means an infrastructure composed of a constellation of satellites and a network of ground stations, which provides accurate timing and geolocation information to users having an appropriate receiver;

(9)

‘Satellite-Based Augmentation System’ (‘SBAS’) means a regional navigation satellite system for monitoring and correcting signals emitted by existing global satellite navigation systems, giving the users better performance in terms of accuracy and integrity;

(10)

‘cold start mode’ means the condition of a GNSS receiver when position, velocity, time, almanac and ephemeris data are not stored in the receiver and therefore the navigation solution is to be calculated by means of a full sky search;

(11)

‘up-to-date location’ means the last known vehicle position determined at the latest moment possible before generation of the MSD.
