3.7Romania
The organization structure of 112 Romania consists of:
-
One Primary Public Safety Answering Points (P-PSAP) in each of the 40 counties and 2 (primary and backup) in Bucharest;
-
One Secondary Public Safety Answering Points (S-PSAP) for each of the 4 agencies (Ambulance, Police, Fire Brigade and Gendarmerie) in each of the 40 counties;
-
One Secondary Public Safety Answering Points (S-PSAP) for MESRE (Mobile Emergency Service for Resuscitation and Extrication) in almost each counties and Bucharest;
-
One Secondary Public Safety Answering Points (S-PSAP) for each agency that function at national level (ex. RRA – Romanian Railway Authority) with PSAP only in Bucharest.
-
One Secondary Public Safety Answering Points (S-PSAP) for each emergency agency of Ambulance, Police and Fire Brigade in each major city working as sub-stations for the county’s S-PSAPs
All the centres are interconnected and are working on the same software and hardware platforms, exchanging data and calls as needed. Voice and data communication are integrated and synchronized on the whole process of handling an emergency call (from the time the call is received until the resources are dispatched). It consists of the following subsystems for the 112 emergency calls management:
-
112 Application (data and VoiP);
-
F2CA ver. 1.3 (GIS system);
-
APD Coordinator 7 (AVLS);
-
SL ver. 1.0 (mobile positioning).
3.7.1.1eCall project architectural overview
For the eCall solution, Romania implemented the pilot in a centralized manner, all eCalls (data and voice) are forwarded to a central PSAP located in Bucharest, whose operators will process the call and will contact directly the necessary emergency services (also referred as “agencies”) from the county the incident has occurred).
The eCall solution is fully integrated in the existing platforms, and was designed as additional functions, not modifying but adding new functionalities to existing.

3.7.1.2Operational environment for supporting eCall
The operational environment consists of:
-
112 Application – added new data block in case folder to present to the operators the MSD and EUCARIS data, developed solution to transfer data and voice between counties (from PSAP Bucharest to the counties agencies);
-
F2CA ver. 1.3 – added several blocks and functions in GIS client interface (case lists, MSD and Eucaris view, notification about eCall);
-
MSD processing servers (redundant in Bucharest and Brasov counties);
-
MSD decoding servers (redundant in Bucharest and Brasov counties);
-
21 eCall modems – responsible for receiving MSD data from IVS (redundant in Bucharest and Brasov counties), each supporting 8 MSD transactions simultaneously;
-
5 IVS – AH3-W based on DSB75 equipment (used only in lab environment and generating MSD through a interface app on a PC).
IVS generic schema
The PSAP eCall modem is a component designed to be the entry point of the PSAP system. It extracts the MSD and forwards the call to the other communication components (Eones, MD110 and CXE server - VoiP communication). Tests were performed with several SIM cards from main Mobile Telephone Operators, but with a specific long B-number to be able to route the call because the mobile operators still don’t have solutions for implementing eCall flag. Application structure – Call Taker applications consist of the two main client interfaces, 112 Application and GIS and are responsible for:
GIS client interface:
-
presentation and visualization of MSD and decoded VIN;
-
visualization of incident location;
-
implementation of VIN decoder interface;
112 Application client interface:
-
presentation and visualization of MSD and decoded VIN;
-
transmission of MSD and VIN data to the Emergency Rescue agencies (Fire Brigade, Police and Ambulance);
-
transmission of voice communication to the Emergency Rescue agencies (Fire Brigade, Police and Ambulance);
-
transmission of eCall data to the third party systems;
