The members of the i_HeERO project have launched an online survey to gain a better understanding of riders’ expectations of eCall devices for powered-two wheelers and the nature of accident scenarios across Europe.
The i_HeERO survey will run until end of May 2016. Its results will help researchers to gain insights into what motorcycle and scooter riders understand by a potential eCall solution for powered-two wheelers, as well as to understand certain factors about powered-two wheeler users’ accident experiences.
No personal data will be collected in the process and all of the answers will be kept confidential.
The survey is available at http://iheero.hreconnect.eu/s/A3C01/
What are eCall devices?
eCall technology allows for an emergency call to be made, either automatically or manually, from a crashed vehicle immediately after a road collision has occurred.
A recently published European Regulation (Regulation 2015/758) makes eCall devices mandatory in cars in Europe as of April 2018.
