| Automatic Mayday System |
| |
|
| In 2000, Autoliv and Volvo introduced one of the world's first post-crash safety systems, "Volvo On Call". It is a crash-robust system that automatically calls the EMS (Emergency Medical Service) Center after a crash and gives the rescue team the exact location of the accident. |
 |
| |
| The vehicle's electronic system registers the airbag deployment and sends a text message to a Volvo On Call Alarm Center through the vehicle's integrated car phone. In tandem, a line is opened so that an operator at the alarm center can talk to the car occupants and find out more about the accident. If, however, no one in the car is able to answer, the operator can send an ambulance directly to the vehicle. The location is provided by the car's GPS satellite navigation system and relayed as a part of the alarm text message. |
| |
 |
The driver can also press an SOS-button for alerting the alarm center in case of an emergency and there is also a button for road assistance of the vehicle has mechanical difficulties or if the driver just wants to know the best way around a traffic congestion. Additionally the system can be used for tracing the car if it has been stolen.
