Abstract

The real challenge for the Member States of the EU is to handle the growing demand in the area of road transport together with the decrease of harmful effects of road transport — reducing road transport casualties and congestions and also environmental effects. The paper shows the EU objectives related to road safety, the eSafety initiative aiming to reduce the number of accidents on Europe’s roads by using advanced information and communication technologies and the in-vehicle eCall emergency call service, which makes it possible that in case of emergency an emergency call can be initiated. Moreover the so-called harmonized eCall European pilot project is also presented, which is granted by the European Commission to support the European implementation of eCall.
