In reply to the honourable Member, let me say that, regarding the first issue of eCall technologies, we have now seen the first real applications in the marketplace, and they work. At the Madrid conference we looked at applications developed by the health authorities and car industry, which showed that, when an accident took place, direct contact could be established with the hospital and the ambulance services were able to locate the place of the accident and make direct telephone contact.
In technological terms the product is now ready. The challenge now is to implement it appropriately. But the first issue has been solved.
On the second matter, as far as accident-avoidance measures by IT tools are concerned, progress has been made on the research side based essentially on the use of radars or sensors, which help the driver to identify potential risks in traffic, especially during the early evening, often the most dangerous time.
We will look at the issue in detail in the context of the feasibility studies to be carried out. As we all know, accident prevention is by far the best solution. In any case, pedestrian safety is a priority for all of us and we will stick to the commitments we have made."@en1
